Modeling Drainage Pipe Slope
Based on the provided scenario and the standard definition of slope on a geoboard, identify the specific numerical values for the 'rise' and the 'run' the technician must use to create the model. Additionally, describe the visual direction of the line as it moves from the first peg to the second.

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.
