Rise over run, or slope, is found by dividing the difference of both outputs by the difference of both inputs. The equation would look something like this (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) Basically, your Y point values are always subtracted in the numerator and divided by you X point values which are subtracted in the denominator. The order in which you subtract DOES matter. If you subtract Y1 from Y2 you must then subtract X1 from X2 and vice versa.
Rise over run gives you slope, not points
You need to find the slope in the equation.
The slope is the rise over the run, like a fraction. Rise is the numerator, run is the denominator. That gives you a fraction. Then just divide if you want a number.
Rise over run
slope=rise over run
Rise over run gives you slope, not points
run over rise
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)
You need to find the slope in the equation.
The slope is the rise over the run, like a fraction. Rise is the numerator, run is the denominator. That gives you a fraction. Then just divide if you want a number.
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.
slope=rise over run
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.
Slope equals rise over run.
Determine which line is steeper by finding out which has a greater rise over run. I trust you know what rise over run is. You can determine which has a greater rise over run by dividing the rise by the run, and then whichever line has the largest decimal is the steepest.
