Find the slope of the line through the points (4, −2) and (1, 4) using the slope formula.

You are given the point (−1, 2) and a slope of $-\frac{3}{2}$. Which of the following points will also lie on the line if you apply the rise and run from the given point? (Select the single correct point.)

A wheelchair ramp must rise 2 feet for every 12 feet horizontally to meet a building entrance. Starting from ground-level point (0,0), write the slope and find the coordinates of the point at the top of a 36-foot section of ramp, then state the slope-intercept equation of the ramp line.

Which of the following descriptions correctly identifies the slope of a vertical line and explains why?

Which of the following statements correctly evaluates the effect of writing the slope $-\frac{3}{5}$ as $\frac{3}{-5}$ versus $\frac{-3}{5}$ when plotting points from a starting position?
