What is the measure of the steepness of line expressed as rise over run?
The measure of the steepness of line expressed as rise over run is called slope.
What part of a line that is also called rise-over-run measures the steepness?
It is the slope or gradient of the line that measures its steepness.
What ia a measure of the steepness of a line?
If you're talking about a line on a graph the steepness would be defined as the slope. Also know as rise over run. The number of units the line rises or falls divided by the number of units it goes to the right or left
What is the definition of slope?
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.
The ratio of rise to the run of a line?
Is the modulus, gradient or slope of the line.

The steepness of a line on a graph is called?
The steepness of a graphed equation is called the slope. Slope can be found after choosing to points on the graph. After recording the coordinate points (x1,y1) snd (x2, y2), slope= y2-y1/x2-x1, or rise/run.

Another name for slope?
Gradient is another term used to describe the slope of a line or surface. It represents the rate of change or steepness of a line or surface.
What is the ratio of rise to run for any two points on a line?
give the ratio of rise to run for the line that contains points (-2,5) and (-2,-2)
What do the terms rise and run have to do with slope?
"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
How do you know which line is steeper in a graph?
Determine which line is steeper by finding out which has a greater rise over run. I trust you know what rise over run is. You can determine which has a greater rise over run by dividing the rise by the run, and then whichever line has the largest decimal is the steepest.
The ratio of rise to the run of a line?
Is the modulus, gradient or slope of the line.
How would you explain slope?
Slope is the "steepness" of a line. If the line is on a grid, it can be calculated by dividing rise/run. If the line is given in the form of the equation y = mx + b the slope is the value of m.
Define the word slope?
Slope is found by calculating rise over run. It represents the steepness of a line and the line's direction. The higher the absolute value of the slope, the more the line's steepness increases, and vice versa. If the slope is positive, the line is diagonal upwards to the right ( / ). If the slope is negative, the line is diagonal downwards to the right ( \ ). If the slope is zero, the line is horizontal. If it is "undefined", the line is a vertical line.
