Question

A line has a slope of 1/5 and a run = 30. What is the
rise?

Answer 1

rise = 6

Explanation:

`slope=(rise)/(run)\\\\\text{We have}\\\\slope=(1)/(5),\ run=30\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\(1)/(5)=(rise)/(30)\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\5rise=(1)(30)\\\\5rise=30\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\(5rise)/(5)=(30)/(5)\\\\rise=6`
