An interior designer is using a geoboard to prototype a decorative wall pattern. To achieve a specific aesthetic, a line must have a slope of -1/3. According to the definition of slope as rise over run, how should the designer move from the first peg to the second peg to create this line?
A site supervisor is using a geoboard to prototype a drainage system layout. To create a line with a slope of -1/3, the supervisor starts at one peg and moves 1 unit down (a rise of -1). To reach the next peg and complete the slope, the supervisor must move ____ units to the right.
A facility manager is using a geoboard to model the slope of a drainage pipe. To achieve a slope of -1/3, the manager should move 1 unit downward for the 'rise' and 3 units to the right for the 'run' from a starting peg.
A logistics coordinator is using a geoboard to model the decline of a conveyor belt system. The model requires a slope of . Match the following slope components to their correct numerical values or physical descriptions as they appear in the geoboard model.
A site planning technician is using a geoboard to model the grade of a drainage swale with a slope of -1/3. Arrange the following steps in the correct order to accurately represent this slope on the geoboard, starting from a fixed peg.
