help me graph this answer slope is rise over run. With each 100 increase in income (run), consumption goes up by 50 (rise). So, 50/100 = .5 = slope
To graph this linear relationship, you'll need to plot a series of points on a coordinate plane using the information provided.
1. Begin by choosing a scale for the x-axis and y-axis based on the range of values given. Let's assume that income (run) ranges from 0 to 1000, and consumption (rise) ranges from 0 to 500.
2. Select a point that corresponds to the initial condition. In this case, when run (income) is 0, rise (consumption) is also 0. So, the point (0,0) is the starting point.
3. Determine the next point by using the slope. Recall that the slope is rise over run, which is 50/100 or 0.5.
4. Starting from the initial point (0,0), move 100 units to the right along the x-axis (run). Then, move 50 units up along the y-axis (rise). This will give you the next point (100, 50).
5. Repeat this process to find additional points. For example, going from (100, 50), move another 100 units to the right (200, 100), and move 50 units up to reach (300, 150). Continue this process until you reach the desired income increase.
6. Once you have plotted all the points, you can draw a straight line connecting them. Since the slope is constant, the line will be a straight line that passes through all the points.
7. The resulting line represents the relationship between income (run) and consumption (rise). As the income increases by 100 units, the consumption increases by 50 units.
Remember to label the axes with the corresponding variables and units (e.g., income in thousands of dollars, and consumption in hundreds of dollars) for clarity.
By following these steps, you should be able to graphically represent the relationship and visualize the slope-rise over run.
