Question

Draw a line representing the "rise" and a line representing the "run" of the line, State
the slope of the line in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the line m = 1

The equation of the straight line x -y -7=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

In the given graph

The points are ( 7,0) and ( 0, -7)

The slope of the line

            $m = \frac{y_{2}- y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} } = \frac{-7-0}{0-7} = \frac{-7}{-7} = 1$

The equation of the straight line passing through the point (7,0) and slope m=1

    y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

    y - 0 = 1( x-7)

   y = x -7

   x - y -7=0

Final answer:-

The slope of the line m = 1

The equation of the straight line x -y -7=0
