Answer:
rise = -3; run = 1
or
rise = 3; run = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is
y = -3x + 1
The equation is in the slope-intercept form,
y = mx + b
m = -3
The slope is -3.
slope = rise/run = -3
We need to write -3 as a fraction to see the rise and the run.
-3 = -3/1 = 3/-1
rise/run = -3/1
rise/run = 3/-1
You can have a rise of -3 and a run of 1, or you can have a rise of 3 and a run of -1. They are both correct.
