To determine the rise, run, and slope between the points (-5,0) and (0,4):

  1. Calculate the Rise:

    • The rise is the change in the y-coordinates: \[ \text{Rise} = y_2 - y_1 = 4 - 0 = 4 \]

  2. Calculate the Run:

    • The run is the change in the x-coordinates: \[ \text{Run} = x_2 - x_1 = 0 - (-5) = 0 + 5 = 5 \]

  3. Calculate the Slope:

    • The slope (m) is calculated as rise over run: \[ \text{Slope} = \frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}} = \frac{4}{5} \]

So, the final answers are:

  • Rise: 4
  • Run: 5
  • Slope: \(\frac{4}{5}\) (in simplest form)
