Question

A line in the Cartesian plane passes through the points (−2,4) and (2,−1). What are the rise
and the run of the line? and how to solve?

Answer 1

rise is
\[y_2-y_1\] run is
\[x_2-x_1\]

Answer 2

in other words from x = -2 to x = 2 is 4 steps to the right. that is the "run"
and from 4 to -1 is 5 steps down, so your "rise" is -5
therefore your slope is
\[\frac{-5}{4}\]

Thank You very much
