having trouble with finding the rise.
slope is 0.40 run is 130 the set up is
.040=rise
slope = rise/run
rise = slope * run = .04 * 130 = 5.2
slope = rise/run.
For a slop of 0.4
0.4 = rise/130
Solve for rise.
It looks like you have accidentally moved the decimal in your line:
.040=rise
THANK YOU SO MUCH
To find the rise, we can use the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is:
y = mx + b
Where:
- y represents the vertical location on the graph (the rise)
- x represents the horizontal location on the graph (the run)
- m represents the slope of the line
- b represents the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis)
In your case, you have the slope (m) as 0.40 and the run (x) as 130. To find the rise (y), we can rearrange the equation as follows:
y = mx + b
y = (0.40)(130) + b
However, you mentioned that the equation is written as "0.40 = rise". This contradicts the slope-intercept form since the rise (y) should be on the left side of the equation, not the right side.
If you want to convert the equation to the slope-intercept form, you can rewrite it as:
rise = (0.40)(130) + b
Without any additional information, we cannot determine the exact value of the rise since we don't have the y-intercept (b). The y-intercept represents the initial value of y when x is 0.
If you have the value of the y-intercept, you can substitute it into the equation to find the rise. Otherwise, you may need more information to solve for the rise accurately.
