<PRE><B>Question 1038398</B>
Slope of the line is 1/2
Points are (8,0) (0,-4)
Does the graph rise or fall for each 2 units of run? 
------
The slope ALWAYS tells you the change in y when x (the run) increases by 1.
-----
Since the slope is positive, the graph rises when x increases.
Cheers,
Stan H.
