Determining Incline for Site Drainage
A site supervisor is plotting a drainage line on a coordinate grid. The line passes through the points (0, -3) and (5, 1). Using the rise-over-run method described in the course, identify the numerical value of the vertical 'rise' and the horizontal 'run' between these two points, and state the final slope of the drainage line.
