Question

find the slope of a line if x=3 and y= x (in terms of rise and run)

Answer 1

1

Answer 2

so the slope of the line is 1

Answer 3

ya

Answer 4

@mathquest do u have options

Answer 5

typing error. I meant X=3 and Y=8

Answer 6

8/3

Answer 7

No options

Answer 8

Does it pass through origin

Answer 9

I mean the line

Answer 10

no

Answer 11

then the slope is not 8/3

Answer 12

how do I solve it..not sure

Answer 13

slope= (8-constant)/3

Answer 14

I think, slope = (8-y)/(3-x)

Answer 15

post your complete question

Answer 16

AT first, do u know that slope =rise/run

Answer 17

so the 8 is how far it rises on the y axis and the run is how far it goes on the x axis
is this right?

Answer 18

very right

Answer 19

so would I be right to say that the graph rises? for every 3 units of run

Answer 20

Rises 8

Answer 21

nope....... it depends

Answer 22

whether is passes through origin or not

Answer 23

it crosses the y axis at 8

Answer 24

therefore i think that it decreases right?

Answer 25

And does it cross x-axis at 3

Answer 26

yup
