what does it mean to draw a line with a slope of 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Remember the definition of slope is \"rise over run\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A slope of 5 is actually $\"5%2F1\"$ where rise = 5 and run = 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We can say for every 1 unit horizontally, we have 5 units vertially
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "an equation y = 5x would look like this
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-5%2C+5%2C+-6%2C+7%2C+5x%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "note when x (run) = 1, y (rise) = 5 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
