Provided the run is not zero, rise/run gives the gradient, or slope, between two points.
figuring slope
You can use the formula x2 - y2 over x1 - y1 or you can use the formula: Rise over Run. If you use rise over run formula, you HAVE to make sure that you form a right triangle.
You can use math in running by calculating how many miles or yards you have run.
You use the two scale's,leg's, of the square to layout the rise and run of your stair's. Rise = the height of each step example 7.5". Run = the length of each step example 12".

To graph points, use rise over run and go up and over on the graph
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
You can use math in running by calculating how many miles or yards you have run.
You use the rise over run method, Y1-Y2/X1-X2
We use words RUN and RISE to describe the two legs of the right triangle. The RUN is the length of the horizontal leg, and the RISE is the length of the vertical leg. We assign a positive sign to the rise if it goes down to meet the graphed line.
Gradient = rise / run. Use the same units.

To convert .25 inch per foot into degrees or percent slope, you first need to determine the rise over the run. In this case, .25 inch per foot is equivalent to a rise of .25 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal distance (1 foot). To convert this into degrees, you can use the arctangent function: arctan(.25/12) ≈ 1.19 degrees. To convert this into percent slope, you can use the formula: percent slope = (rise / run) x 100. In this case, it would be (.25/12) x 100 ≈ 2.08% slope.
