The vertical change between two points separated by a horizontal difference of Dx is Dx*slope = Dx*Rise/Run
The rise, or vertical difference, between two points on the coordinate plane is the difference i their y-coordinates.
Rise is the vertical distance between the two points on the graph. This is measured using the Y axis.
The slope is the ratio of rise over the run. The rise is the change in the vertical distance.The run is the change in the horizontal distance.So the slope is the ratio of two changes, horizontal divided by vertical.
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.
