y=mx+b, b is your y-intercept and m is your slope which is rise over run.
The formula to find the slope of a line is, run over rise in other words, Y2 - Y1 over X2 - X1 then u simplify.
The rise is the difference between the ordinates (vertical values) of two points on a line whereas the run is the difference between their abscissae (horizontal values) of the same two points.
The slope formula is defined as the rise over the run, a.k.a the change in Y over the change in X.m= (y1-y2)/(x1-x2).For a Vertical Line, the rise is infinite while the run is zero, suggesting a slope of infinity/zero (because the slope is the rise over the run).Zero can be put into infinity an infinite amount of times, describing an INFINITE SLOPE, which limit calculus is required to reveal. However, for algebra students, this value, infinity, or the infinite slope, is described as UNDEFINED. This is because algebra students have not yet received sufficient math tools to define infinity! Be patient and don't get too excited, calculus will reveal much :)SO...For CALCULUS students: Vertical lines have an infinite slopeFor ALGEBRA students: Vertical lines have an undefined slope
Rise/run is the slope of a line.
When determining the measurement of slope on a road, the equations are for grade (gradient). The formula is grade = (rise ÷ slope length) * 100

Its rise divided by run
y=mx+b, b is your y-intercept and m is your slope which is rise over run.
Slope = the rise divided by the run or on a cartesian coordinate plane: the change in y divided by the change in x
The rise is the difference in y coordinates for a line and the run is the difference in x coordinates. For a negative slope, the rise is negative and the run is positive.The slope is the "rise over the run", dividing the y difference by the x difference. The formula is :.Y2- Y1. _____.X2 -X1
Using limits and the basic gradient formula: rise/run.
If you define the rise and run in terms of the coordinates of two points on the line whose slope you are trying to find, then you should see that the two are exactly the same.
It all depends on the slope, really. Because remember that the formula for calculating slope is rise over run.
Slope equals rise over run.
The slope can be remembered as "rise over run". When the slope is an integer, it means that the rise over run is positive.
It is the slope.
