a run in math is referring to slope, which is rise over run. rise is how far you travel up, and run is how far you travel over.
If you're talking about slope, it is rise over run. But why is it not the other way run over rise?
The slope can be remembered as "rise over run". When the slope is an integer, it means that the rise over run is positive.
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.
It is the slope.
