10.2. Graphs Using Slope-Intercept Form www.ck12.orgNotice that to graph this equation based on its slope, we had to find the rise <strong>and</strong> run<strong>and</strong> it was easiest to do that whenthe slope was expressed as a fraction. Thats true in general: to graph a line with a particular slope, its easiest to firstexpress the slope as a fraction in simplest form, <strong>and</strong> then read off the numerator <strong>and</strong> the denominator of the fractionto get the rise <strong>and</strong> run of the graph.Example 4Find integer values for the rise <strong>and</strong> run of the following slopes, then graph lines with corresponding slopes.a) m = 3b) m = −2c) m = 0.75d) m = −0.375Solutiona)b)196
