The run (not runs - which means diarrhoea) is the horizontal change between two points.
A line is the locus of points such that the gradient (slope) between that point and one fixed point in the plane is a constant. Technically, that definition does not include a vertical line because its gradient is not defined! You could get around that this by requiring that either the gradient is a constant or, if it is undefined, then the inverse gradient (dx/dy) is constant.
The tangent line is the instantaneous rate of change at a point on a curve. The secant line crosses a curve twice at points A and B, representing the average rate of change between those two points.
A straight line is the shortest distance between two points, a line is the delineation of a connection between two or more points.
If the graph is a non-vertical straight line, then the rate of change is constant. If the line is curved, then the rate of change (slope) varies.

No
The slope.
It is the fact that their coordinates are not the same.

vertical change to the horizontal change between any two points on the line. study island.
That's called the line's slope.
You measure the change in the vertical direction (rise) per unit change in the horizontal direction (run). The rate of change is constant between A and B if AB is a straight line. Take any two points, A = (xa, ya) and B = (xb, yb) then the average rate of change, between A and B = (yb- ya)/(xb- xa).
The tangent line is the instantaneous rate of change at a point on a curve. The secant line crosses a curve twice at points A and B, representing the average rate of change between those two points.
A linear pattern is a consistent and predictable change in a series of data points that can be represented by a straight line on a graph. It indicates a constant rate of change between the variables being studied.
