An angled roof has both, at once! -You may be referring to an incline...
rise divided by run: a fraction, rise is y and run is x (you run on a horizontal plane) (you rise on a vertical plane)
The ratio of rise over run is known as slope. In a linear equation, it can be found by identifying m in the equation Y=mx+b
If you're talking about slope, it is rise over run. But why is it not the other way run over rise?
Slope is a mathematical term in physics that is used to describe the steepness of a line, or other physical object. Mathematically, slope is known as "m". The basic equation is: M = Rise/Run or M = Δy/Δx. This is best explained by a drawing: / / | / | / | / | <--- The Rise / | / | /___| ^ The run So if you know the length of the rise, and the length of the run, you can calculate the slope by dividing the rise by the run. Hope this helps.
Yes, rise divided by run
Rise over run
Rise/run is the slope of a line.
rise and run for stairs
The slope can be remembered as "rise over run". When the slope is an integer, it means that the rise over run is positive.
!/8 in of rise to 1 foot of run.
For a negative slope, the rise is negative and the run is positive.
1" rise per every 12" run
