Pick any two points. If possible, find ones that coincide with grid points. Label then A and B. It does not matter which way round you label them but the rest of this depends on them being treated in the same order.
Calculate the rise: the vertical distance from A to B, as measured on the vertical axis.
Calculate the run: the horizontal distance from A to B, as measured on thehorizontalaxis.
Divide the rise by the run.
Rise over run
Rise over run gives you slope, not points
Slope equals rise over run.
It could have been either but it must have been easier to put the y-coordinate on top.
The measure of the steepness of line expressed as rise over run is called slope.
If you're talking about slope, it is rise over run. But why is it not the other way run over rise?
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)
Rise over run
The slope can be remembered as "rise over run". When the slope is an integer, it means that the rise over 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.
Rise over run gives you slope, not points
Slope equals rise over run.

rise over run. That would be a 4" rise for every 12" run. In other words, 4" vertically over 12" horizontally
