constructing a graph that goes through 2 points

Question

Construct the graph of the line that goes through the points (0,0) and (3,3) to determine the slope. Label the rise and the run on your graph.

Answer 1

Your assignment consists of graphing two points, which are given.

 

Then you can figure the slope by use of the graph (rise over run) or by use of the formula for m, which tells you to compute (x₂ - x₁) / (y₂ - y₁).  you'll get m=1, which says that the line has a 45 degree angle relative to the x-axis.
