A line has a slope of 1/2 and a run = 50. What is the rise? A). 25. B) 50. C) 100
the slope= y/x
the run = x
1/2 = y/50
cross multiply
2y = 50
y = 50/2
y = 25 <=== the rise
Answer: A) 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, Slope of a line, m = \(\frac{rise}{run}\)
But According to the question Slope of the given line, m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Therefore, \(\frac{rise}{run}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
But run =50,
⇒\(\frac{rise}{50}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
⇒ rise = 1/2 × 50 = 25
Thus, Rise = 25.
So, Option A) is correct.
