slope
Provided the run is not zero, rise/run gives the gradient, or slope, between two points.
It's just rise over run
Slope refers to the gradient of a graph, for linear graphs (straight-line) this is equal to the change in y divided by the change in x - often referred to as the 'rise over the run'.
Because that's the definition of 'slope'.
In mathematical terms, the rise is how far a line goes up for a given distance. The run is how far a line goes along for a given distance. Rise and run is the angle of inclination or slope of a member or structure, expressed as the ratio of the vertical rise to the horizontal 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.
Provided the run is not zero, rise/run gives the gradient, or slope, between two points.

"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

Change in y values over change in x values. Rise over run.
Slope is the steepness of a line. From my high school math days, I remember that slope equals rise over run. Think of the sloping line as the hypotenuse of a right triangle, and the base is sitting on the x-coordinate. Rise is the length of the vertical leg of the triangle, and run is the length of the horizontal leg. Do the division, rise divided by run, and you have a measure of the slope. You might have to pay careful attention to positives and negatives. If it's a straight line you don't have to worry about how long you make the base; the ratio (the answer to a division problem) will be the same.
