Provided the run is not zero, rise/run gives the gradient, or slope, between two points.
slope
It's just rise over run
You can use math in running by calculating how many miles or yards you have run.
figuring slope
To convert an angle of 18 degrees into rise over run, you can use the tangent function, which is the ratio of the rise (opposite side) to the run (adjacent side) in a right triangle. The tangent of 18 degrees is approximately 0.3249. Therefore, for every 1 unit of run, the rise would be about 0.3249 units, giving a rise over run ratio of approximately 0.325:1.
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.

Either can be bigger: it is no big deal.

Yes, i do want to build a ramp for skateboarding
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)
We use words RUN and RISE to describe the two legs of the right triangle. The RUN is the length of the horizontal leg, and the RISE is the length of the vertical leg. We assign a positive sign to the rise if it goes down to meet the graphed line.
Gradient = rise / run. Use the same units.
If you're talking about slope, it is rise over run. But why is it not the other way run over rise?
