rise refers to the y coordinates(i.e y2 - y1) whereas the "run" refers to the x coordinates(i.e x2 - x1), hence the algebraic expression slope = rise/run or to put it mathematically, m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) or m = change in y/change in x.

What is the change in rise divided by the change in run?
Rise/run is the slope of a line.
What is the rise and run of an 8.33 percent slope?
1" rise per every 12" run
How do you graph rise over run?
This is plotted with a straight line. The "rise" is how far the line rises vertically. the "run" is how far it traverses horizontally. The division "rise" / "run" is the "slope" of the line.
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 does slope and y intercept mean?
Slope is the ratio of rise to run. Meaning: rise is the change in y value (height, rise). Run is the change in x value (run). It is calculated as (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). It is often represented by the letter m. Y-intercept is the y value at which your curve crosses the y-intercept. Put another way, it's the y-value when x=0 (the y-axis). Hope this helps.
What does it mean to the rise over run when the slope is an integer?
The slope can be remembered as "rise over run". When the slope is an integer, it means that the rise over run is positive.
What does 4 and 12 mean in regards to a roof pitch -------run and ------- rise?
rise over run. That would be a 4" rise for every 12" run. In other words, 4" vertically over 12" horizontally
How do you calculate rise over run?
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)
Another name for slope?
Rise over run ! Rise _____ run
Is it rise over run or run over rise on a cordinate plane?
If you're talking about slope, it is rise over run. But why is it not the other way run over rise?
Slope is rise divided by run?
Yes, rise divided by run
What is the change in rise divided by the change in run?
Rise/run is the slope of a line.
Do you divide the rise over run or vice verse?
Rise over run
What is the rise and r?
rise and run for stairs
Callculating rise and run when laying pipe?
!/8 in of rise to 1 foot of run.
What is the rise and run of an 8.33 percent slope?
1" rise per every 12" run
For a negative slope the rise is and the run is positive?
For a negative slope, the rise is negative and the run is positive.
