Rise over run
Rise over run gives you slope, not points
The ratio of rise to run.
Slope equals rise over run.
It could have been either but it must have been easier to put the y-coordinate on top.
The slope is the ratio of rise over the run. The rise is the change in the vertical distance.The run is the change in the horizontal distance.So the slope is the ratio of two changes, horizontal divided by vertical.
If you're talking about slope, it is rise over run. But why is it not the other way run over rise?
It is the slope.
give the ratio of rise to run for the line that contains points (-2,5) and (-2,-2)
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)
The rise is 2 and the run is 5. The ratio is called the slope, which in this case is 2/5 or 0.4.
Slope. The ratio of rise to run yields slope, denoted "m" in the equation: y = mx + b m = Δy/Δx, or (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
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.
Tangent
Rise = 8 - (-3) = 11 Run = -2 - 4 = -6 So ratio = -11/6
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.
