Slope is also known as rise over run -
[tex] \frac{rise}{run} [/tex]
Here, we have the slope [tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex]. This means that the rise is [tex]1[/tex] and the run is [tex]4[/tex]. Since both values are positive, we can say that we go up one and we go right four. When we plot this on a graph (the graph is attached), we get the same exact formula we found. **In the graph, I plotted the line [tex]y= \frac{1}{4} x[/tex]**. Hope this helped!
