"The ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on a line. It measures the steepness of a line."
Rise = vertical change
Run = horizontal change
The terms are commonly used as "rise over run" because the equation for calculating the slope(m) of a line is: m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
the y points being the difference in rise and the x points being the difference in run
m = rise / run

Slope is 'rise over run', that is rise divided by run. In this case, that's 12 divided by 6, which equals 2.
Slope is equal to rise over run. There are 12 inches in a foot, so 10 feet is actually 120 inches. Therefore, the slope is equal to 1/120.
Yes. There is no positive or negative rise to generate a slope, and it cannot have a run of zero length.
Rise = (-1 - 4) = -5 Run = (2 - -2) = 4 Slope = Rise/Run = -5/4 = -20
The difference in x-coordinates is called the "run", and the difference in y-coordinates is the "rise".
slope
If you define the rise and run in terms of the coordinates of two points on the line whose slope you are trying to find, then you should see that the two are exactly the same.
The slope can be remembered as "rise over run". When the slope is an integer, it means that the rise over run is positive.
For a negative slope, the rise is negative and the run is positive.
It is the slope.
Your answer is 3/24 or 0.125 Slope = Rise / Run
Slope equals rise over run.
Yes, rise divided by run
The formula for calculating the slope of a staircase is: slope rise / run. This means you divide the height of the stair rise by the depth of the stair run to determine the slope of the staircase.
Rise/run is the slope of a line.
slope = rise divided by run
The rise is the difference in y coordinates for a line and the run is the difference in x coordinates. For a negative slope, the rise is negative and the run is positive.The slope is the "rise over the run", dividing the y difference by the x difference. The formula is :.Y2- Y1. _____.X2 -X1
