In mathematics, particularly in geometry and algebra, the letter "m" is commonly used to represent the slope of a line, which is calculated as the "rise" (vertical change) over the "run" (horizontal change). The origin of using "m" for slope is not definitively known, but it is often attributed to the French word "monter," meaning "to climb." This convention has persisted in mathematical literature and education, making it a standard notation for slope in equations of lines.
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.
To convert an angle of 18 degrees into rise over run, you can use the tangent function, which is the ratio of the rise (opposite side) to the run (adjacent side) in a right triangle. The tangent of 18 degrees is approximately 0.3249. Therefore, for every 1 unit of run, the rise would be about 0.3249 units, giving a rise over run ratio of approximately 0.325:1.
You can use math in running by calculating how many miles or yards you have run.

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.
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 calculate the rise of a roof with a 3-degree pitch over a meter, you can use the tangent function in trigonometry. The rise is equal to the tangent of the angle multiplied by the run (distance), which in this case is 1 meter. Therefore, the rise is approximately ( \tan(3^\circ) \times 1 \text{ meter} ), which is about 0.0524 meters, or approximately 5.24 centimeters.
