The run (not runs - which means diarrhoea) is the horizontal change between two points.
It is the derivative of the vertical change relative to the horizontal change - if the derivative exists. So, with the typical x-y graph, it would be dy/dx. If the graph is a straight line, then it is the change in the vertical positions between any two points divided by the change in the horizontal positions between the same two points (in the same order).
The constant rate of change between two points on a line is called slope.
When a line segment connecting two points is horizontal the length of the segment can be found by finding the absolute value of the difference in x-coordinates of the two points.
On a graph, a horizontal line reprents no change in data.
Run
No, rise is the vertical change. Run is the horizontal change.
The slope.
The run (not runs - which means diarrhoea) is the horizontal change between two points.
vertical change to the horizontal change between any two points on the line. study island.
run apex dawgg!!
The horizontal change is the change in x. If the line in horizontal then the horizontal change will just be its length.
It is the derivative of the vertical change relative to the horizontal change - if the derivative exists. So, with the typical x-y graph, it would be dy/dx. If the graph is a straight line, then it is the change in the vertical positions between any two points divided by the change in the horizontal positions between the same two points (in the same order).
"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
The constant rate of change between two points on a line is called slope.
"implies an elasticity equal to infinity" you have a horizontal straight line, you are right that e will be infinite . It will be perfectly elastic at all the points on the line. Because no change in quantity will be will change the price.
The vertical change between two points separated by a horizontal difference of Dx is Dx*slope = Dx*Rise/Run
