4/3

Answer 3

Can you explain how you got that?

Answer 4

Rise over run.

Answer 5

Count upwards from (-2,-3), and then to the right to (1,1)

Answer 6

So, it's up 4, then right 3. This means 4/3

Answer 7

Do you get it?

Answer 8

Yeah I got it now. Thanks :) but it looks like the run is only 2.

Answer 9

Well, since the rise is 4/3, the rise is 1.333333333333...

How'd you get two?

Answer 10

*slope in place of rise

Answer 11

The run is 3 not 2.

Answer 12

I thought the rise was 4? Sorry for all the questions.

Answer 13

The rise is 4, and the run is 3

Answer 14

Yeah I know that but you said the rise is 1.33333
