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.
