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
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.
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.
200/1 rise=200 run=1
Rise over run
It sounds like a way to describe the amount of pitch, or steepness, in a roof or similar structure - e.g., a rise of 12 feet over a run of 60 feet.
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?
In math, the slope of a line represents its steepness. It is the change in y values over the change in the values of x, or rise over run.
Yes, rise divided by run
Rise/run is the slope of a line.
Rise over run
rise and run for stairs
The slope can be remembered as "rise over run". When the slope is an integer, it means that the rise over run is positive.
!/8 in of rise to 1 foot of run.
