Question

How could the order pairs (0,4) and (6,8) be used to calculate the slope ratio?

Answer 1

slope measures how far something leans

Answer 2

to measure the lean here we simply need to get one of them to the origin

Answer 3

(0,4) (6,8)
-4 -4
------------
(0,0) (6,4)

this tells us that as x moves by 6, y moves by 4

Answer 4

slope is the measure of the change in y with respect to the change in x; in this case, 4/6
