Question

A line passes through the point (0,-4) and (5,6).
Find the run (change in the x value) using the two given points.

Answer 1

To find the run (the change in the x value) using the two given points (0, -4) and (5, 6), you can subtract the x-coordinate of the first point from the x-coordinate of the second point.

Let:
- \( x_1 = 0 \) (the x-coordinate of the first point)
- \( x_2 = 5 \) (the x-coordinate of the second point)

The run is calculated as follows:

\[
\text{Run} = x_2 - x_1 = 5 - 0 = 5
\]

So, the run (change in the x value) is **5**.
