Can anyone graph a slope?

OpenStudy (samantha2234):

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Any ideas?

OpenStudy (samantha2234):

I have no idea to be honest

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$\huge slope=\dfrac{rise}{run}$$

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Have you seen that^ formula before?

OpenStudy (samantha2234):

the rise would be 15 and the run would be 40? And yes I have.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Good. Divide 15 by 40.

OpenStudy (samantha2234):

0.375

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

That is correct. Leave it as a fraction for this question.

OpenStudy (samantha2234):

Wait, so how do I turn it into a fraction?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

15 divided by 40 = 15/40

OpenStudy (samantha2234):

Oh, okay :) Thanks a bunch!!!

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

15 = 3•5 40 = 8•5 Cancel the 5s and that's your answer.

OpenStudy (samantha2234):
