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
