Could you help her out dude?
Which choice do you two people think is the correct one, and why?
When we're talking about slopes of straight lines, what do "rise" and "run" mean? Define them, please. This will lead to a better undrstanding of the question here.
Rise is the vertical distance between the two points on the graph. Run is the horizontal distance between the two points on the graph.
start at the y axis....does your line go down or up ?
up?
Good. If you take a look at the graph given, does it seem that y is rising or falling as x increases? Move to the right; does y increase or decrease?
@kelliegirl33 : Please go ahead and help.
start at the y intercept....the line goes down (negative) and to the right (positive)
oh sorry now i get it. :D
