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
