Answer 1

To determine the rise and run from the point (0, 0) to the point (6, -1), we can analyze the vertical and horizontal changes between the two points.

Rise: The rise is the change in the y-coordinate from (0, 0) to (6, -1).

• Initial y-coordinate: 0
• Final y-coordinate: -1
• Rise = Final y - Initial y = -1 - 0 = -1

Run: The run is the change in the x-coordinate from (0, 0) to (6, -1).

• Initial x-coordinate: 0
• Final x-coordinate: 6
• Run = Final x - Initial x = 6 - 0 = 6

So, we have:

• The rise from (0, 0) to (6, -1) = -1.
• The run from (0, 0) to (6, -1) = 6.

Question 2: Slope The slope (m) of a line is calculated as:

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

Using the values calculated:

\[ m = \frac{-1}{6} \]

So the slope of this line is:

−1/6 (negative 1 sixth).
