<PRE><B>Question 369793</B>
&lt;font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot;&gt;The slope m is equivalent to rise over run, or the change in the y values (deltay) over the change in the x values (deltax). &lt;br&gt;

m=0.73 and deltay=1&lt;br&gt;

change in y/change in x=0.73&lt;br&gt;

deltay/deltax=0.73&lt;br&gt;

1/deltax=0.73&lt;br&gt;

1/0.73=deltax&lt;br&gt;

deltax=1.3698...&lt;br&gt;

&lt;b&gt;For each vertical change of 1 unit, we have a corresponding horizontal change of 1.37 units.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;

I hope this helps!&lt;br&gt;</PRE>
