Question 267219
what does it mean to draw a line with a slope of 5
:
Remember the definition of slope is "rise over run"
:
A slope of 5 is actually {{{5/1}}} where rise = 5 and run = 1
:
We can say for every 1 unit horizontally, we have 5 units vertially
:
an equation y = 5x would look like this
:
{{{ graph( 300, 200, -5, 5, -6, 7, 5x) }}}
note when x (run) = 1, y (rise) = 5
