The difference between two points on a horizontal line is determined by the distance between their coordinates along the x-axis. This difference is calculated by subtracting the smaller coordinate from the larger one. If the points are represented as (x₁, y) and (x₂, y), where y remains constant, the difference is |x₂ - x₁|. Thus, it reflects the horizontal separation between the two points, irrespective of their vertical position.
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.
Yes, the horizontal change between two points on a line is referred to as the "run." It measures the distance along the x-axis between the two points. In the context of a linear equation, this change is essential for calculating the slope, which is the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run).
A straight line is the shortest distance between two points, a line is the delineation of a connection between two or more points.
The run (not runs - which means diarrhoea) is the horizontal change between two points.
No, that statement is incorrect. The "rise" refers to the vertical change between two points on a line, while the "run" represents the horizontal change. In the context of a line, the slope is calculated as the rise divided by the run.
The rise is the difference between the ordinates (vertical values) of two points on a line whereas the run is the difference between their abscissae (horizontal values) of the same two points.
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.
Run
The absolute difference in the vertical direction is zero but the absolute difference in the horizontal direction will be the horizontal distance - which is the distance between the points.

No, rise is the vertical change. Run is the horizontal change.

The slope.
A perpendicular line is one that is at right angle to another - usually to a horizontal line. A perpendicular bisector is a line which is perpendicular to the line segment joining two identified points and which divides that segment in two.
The run (not runs - which means diarrhoea) is the horizontal change between two points.
No, that statement is incorrect. The "rise" refers to the vertical change between two points on a line, while the "run" represents the horizontal change. In the context of a line, the slope is calculated as the rise divided by the run.
zero is horizontal, undefined is vertical
