Rise = 8 - (-3) = 11 Run = -2 - 4 = -6 So ratio = -11/6
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.
The vertical change between two points separated by a horizontal difference of Dx is Dx*slope = Dx*Rise/Run
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.
