Answer 1

To determine the rise, run, and slope from the provided graph information, we can utilize the following definitions:

- **Rise**: The vertical change between two points on the graph.
- **Run**: The horizontal change between the same two points on the graph.
- **Slope (m)**: The ratio of the rise to the run, calculated as \( m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} \).

Based on the description you provided for the graph:

1. **Rise**: The rise starts at -5 and seems to reach another value, but let's clarify that for the second point. For calculation, let's assume it rises to 4. The total rise is:
\[
\text{Rise} = 4 - (-5) = 4 + 5 = 9
\]

2. **Run**: The run goes to 4 (usually on the x-axis). Assuming it starts from 0 (or whatever starting x value you may have) and goes to 4, the total run is:
\[
\text{Run} = 4 - 0 = 4
\]

3. **Slope**: Now, calculating the slope using the rise and run:
\[
\text{Slope} = \frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}} = \frac{9}{4}
\]

In summary:
- **Rise**: 9
- **Run**: 4
- **Slope**: \( \frac{9}{4} \) or 2.25

This indicates a positive slope, meaning the line goes upwards from left to right. If you have precise coordinates for both points or if my assumptions about the rise or run are incorrect, please provide them, and I'll adjust the calculations accordingly!
