Question

A line segment has endpoints at (2, 9) and (5, 11).

What is the vertical rise of the line segment?

m = _________

Answer 1

11 - 9

Answer 2

When working with points, the "rise" is the change in the y-coordinate (the second number in each ordered pair), while the "run" is the change in the x-coordinate.

To find the rise, subtract the first y-coordinate from the second y-coordinate.

Answer 3

2

Answer 4

Do we do the same with the x-coordinates?

Answer 6

what does x equal

Answer 7

Yes, do the same with the x-coordinates to find the "run".

Answer 8

2-5=-3

Answer 9

does "vertical rise" mean slope? you have \(m=...\) that usually denotes a slope

Answer 10

What?
