Slope= rise over run
The slope is the magnitude of the line upwards or downwards, commonly referred to as "rise over run". The rise is how much the graph goes up in a certain distance, and the run is how much the graph goes over horizontally that same distance. To find the slope in that situation, you have to divide the rise by the run.
rise over run or change in y over change in x
Rise over run
y intercept is when x is zero then you solve. slope is rise over run or y -y1 divided by x -x1 you graph by puting the y intersept on the y axis then you take the slope and do the rise then the run
To graph points, use rise over run and go up and over on the graph
Slope= rise over run
The slope is the magnitude of the line upwards or downwards, commonly referred to as "rise over run". The rise is how much the graph goes up in a certain distance, and the run is how much the graph goes over horizontally that same distance. To find the slope in that situation, you have to divide the rise by the run.
rise over run or change in y over change in x
This is plotted with a straight line. The "rise" is how far the line rises vertically. the "run" is how far it traverses horizontally. The division "rise" / "run" is the "slope" of the line.
If you're talking about slope, it is rise over run. But why is it not the other way run over rise?
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)
Rise represents the change in y-values on a graph, e.g. if the rise is equal to 10, the y-value changes by 10. Run represents the change in x-values on a graph, e.g. if the run is equal to 5, the x-value changes by 5. knowing both the rise and the run is necessary to calculate the gradient, or slope of a graph - this is done by dividing the rise by the run, in this case it would be equal to 10/5 = 2
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.

y=mx+b...... m is rise over run.... how many points it goes up=rise how many it goes over= run..... use b as the y intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis
