The rise is 2 and the run is 5. The ratio is called the slope, which in this case is 2/5 or 0.4.

What does the phrase rise over run refer when defining slope?
This is the fraction or number representing how many units up a line goes for ever unit it goes laterally. For example, a slope of 2/3. This line goes up two units for every three it goes sideways.
What does rise represent and what does run represent?
Rise represents the change in y-values on a graph, e.g. if the rise is equal to 10, the y-value changes by 10. Run represents the change in x-values on a graph, e.g. if the run is equal to 5, the x-value changes by 5. knowing both the rise and the run is necessary to calculate the gradient, or slope of a graph - this is done by dividing the rise by the run, in this case it would be equal to 10/5 = 2
What is the slope of a line formed by x 4 and y 2 and x 1 and y -1?
two points (4,2) and (1,-1) slope is rise of run. rise = -1 -2 = -3 run = 1 - 4 -3 => slope = -3/-3 = 1
The diagonals of the rhombus are in the ratio 3 4 the perimeter of the rhombus is 40cm find the lengths of the sides and of the diagonals?
The length of the sides of the rhombus are 10cm, as a rhombus has equal sides. since the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular, ratio of side of rhombus to 1/2 a diagonal to 1/2 of another diagonal is 5:4:3 (pythagorean thriple), hence ratio of side of rhombus to 1 diagonal to another diagonal is 5:8:6. since 5 units = 10cm 8 units = 16cm 6 units = 12cm and there are your diagonals.
If you know two points on a line how can you find the rate of change of the variables being graphed?
You divide the difference in y-coordinates by the difference in x-coordinates. Or whatever the variables are.
What is the ratio of rise to run for any two points on a line?
give the ratio of rise to run for the line that contains points (-2,5) and (-2,-2)
What is the ratio of rise to run between the points -2 8 and 4 -3?
Rise = 8 - (-3) = 11 Run = -2 - 4 = -6 So ratio = -11/6
Ratio that compares 2 quantities measured in different units?
ratio that compares 2 quantities measured in diiferent units
How do you find the slope of an object?
The adage is "rise over run". For example, if the change between position 1 and position 2 is two units to the right and 3 units up, the slope is 3/2. If the change was 3 units up and two units to the left, then it would be (-3/2).
Which fraction equals the ratio of rise to run between the points 2 -3 and -5 -4?
Points: (2, -3) and (-5, -4) Fraction: 1/7
What is the ratio of 0.12?
Means for every 100 units of one, you add 12 units of 2. Or a 20/3 ratio (expressed in percent).

What is the radius x of a cone with height 2 units if a similar cone has radius of 4 units and height of 10 units?
If two shapes are similar, then each length is in the same ratio. The ratio of the heights is 10 : 2 Thus the radii are in the same ratio, ie 4 : x = 10 : 2 → x = 2 × 4 ÷ 10 = 0.8 units
What is a ratio of 2 measures that have different units called?
One term for such a ratio is a "conversion factor".
A line in the Cartesian plane passes through the points -2 4 and 2 -1 what is the rise and the run of the line?
Rise = (-1 - 4) = -5 Run = (2 - -2) = 4 Slope = Rise/Run = -5/4 = -20
What is 16 inches to 2 feet in ratio?
It is: 2 to 3 To find a ratio always convert them to the same units and then divide one by the other.
What is the ratio in which the numerator and the denomenator are equivalent quantities in different units?
In that case, the units don't cancel, and you have to keep the units. For example, if you travel 100 km in 2 hours, the ratio is 100 km / 2 hours or 50 km/hour. You have to keep the units, for the result to be meaningful (although the units are quite often implied).
