Rise/run is the slope of a line.
1" rise per every 12" 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.
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
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.
The slope can be remembered as "rise over run". When the slope is an integer, it means that the rise over run is positive.
rise over run. That would be a 4" rise for every 12" run. In other words, 4" vertically over 12" horizontally
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)
If you're talking about slope, it is rise over run. But why is it not the other way run over rise?
Yes, rise divided by run
Rise/run is the slope of a line.
Rise over run
rise and run for stairs
!/8 in of rise to 1 foot of run.
1" rise per every 12" run
For a negative slope, the rise is negative and the run is positive.
a run in math is referring to slope, which is rise over run. rise is how far you travel up, and run is how far you travel over.
