Find the slope of the line through the pair of points (1, 0), (4, 4). Plot the pair of points, draw a line through them, and indicate the rise and run in the graph.

We can use the slope formula to find the slope of the line passing through the points (1, 0), (4, 4):

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (4-0)/(4-1) = 4/3

The rise is the vertical change between the two points, which is 4. The run is the horizontal change between the two points, which is 3. We can plot the points and draw the line to see:

```
  |    *
4 |      *  
  |        *    
3 |          *
  |____________
     1  2  3  4 
```

The rise is the vertical distance from (1, 0) to (4, 4), which is 4 units. The run is the horizontal distance from (1, 0) to (4, 4), which is 3 units.
