Question

What are the rise and run of the line whose equation is y=15x ?


(a) rise = 1 and run = 15

(b) rise = 15 and run = 15

(c) rise = 5 and run = 1

(d) rise = 1 and run = 5

Answer 1

y = mx , where m is a slope,

m= rise/run

We have y = 15x, so m =15 and  rise/run =15, then

rise = 15, run = 1
