Given the statement:

A line has a rise of 6 and a slope of 1/20.

Find the run of the line.

Formula for the slope of the line:

Slope = rise over run

Slope = rise/run

Run = rise/slope

Solution:

Substitute the given values of the rise and the slope to the formula for the run.

Run = rise/slope

Run = 6/(1 / 20)

Run = (6)(20)

Run = 120

Final answer:

Run = 120
