Question

A line has a rise of 6 and a slope of 1/20. What is the run?

30

90

120

Answer 1

\[\text{ slope } =\frac{ \text{ rise } }{ \text{ run }}\]

Answer 2

The rise is the numerator so we have to convert 1/20 so that the numerator matches.

Answer 3

We do that by multiplying each part of the fraction by 6, since 1 * 6 = 6 and that would be the numerator.

Answer 4

slope=rise/run
1/20=6/x
x/20=6
x=6*20
