In mathematical terms, the rise is how far a line goes up for a given distance. The run is how far a line goes along for a given distance. Rise and run is the angle of inclination or slope of a member or structure, expressed as the ratio of the vertical rise to the horizontal run.

Define slope of a line?
Rise/Run (The rise of the slope divided by the run of the slope.)
If the rise and the run are both positive numbers what would the slope of a line be?
Whether both are positive or not, you divide rise / run.
What is the meaning of the phrase 'car travels up a slope of 1 in 15'?
This is assumed to be a 'rise over run' scenario. The 1 would be the rise, and the 15 would be the run. That is to say that for every 15(insert units here) run, or length, you will have 1 rise(insert unit here) or height.
Slope is rise divided by run?
Yes, rise divided by run
Would the slope change if you count the run before the rise?
The slope is defined as (rise) divided by (run). It doesn't matter which oneyou measure first, as long as you divide them in the right order.
Define slope of a line?
Rise/Run (The rise of the slope divided by the run of the slope.)
If the rise and the run are both positive numbers what would the slope of a line be?
Whether both are positive or not, you divide rise / run.
How are the slope formula and finding slope using rise over run related?
If you define the rise and run in terms of the coordinates of two points on the line whose slope you are trying to find, then you should see that the two are exactly the same.
How do you calculate rise over run?
rise divided by run: a fraction, rise is y and run is x (you run on a horizontal plane) (you rise on a vertical plane)
Define parallel and explain how the slope of 2 parallel lines would be related?
I always remembered parallel line because of the 2 "L's" in parallel. They are perfectly parallel to each other and will never intersect. The slope of a line is the rise over run, or rise/run. Therefore if both lines are parallel, the slopes of the lines are the same.
What does 4 and 12 mean in regards to a roof pitch -------run and ------- rise?
rise over run. That would be a 4" rise for every 12" run. In other words, 4" vertically over 12" horizontally
How do you calculate rise and run for stairs with a limited total run?
Dear sir/madam, please would you help me to calculate the rise & run of a stairs. Thank you, John.
Define long rise pants?
They are pants. They are not short. And they rise. Amen.
How much rise would a run of eight foot at a one degree rise?
It is approx 1.7 inches.
Is it rise over run or run over rise on a cordinate plane?
If you're talking about slope, it is rise over run. But why is it not the other way run over rise?
What is the meaning of the phrase 'car travels up a slope of 1 in 15'?
This is assumed to be a 'rise over run' scenario. The 1 would be the rise, and the 15 would be the run. That is to say that for every 15(insert units here) run, or length, you will have 1 rise(insert unit here) or height.
If you are plotting points and the points are negative 6 negative 6 and 3 6 what would be the rise and the run of the slope?
rise = y2 - y1 run = x2 - x1 thus, rise = 6 - (-6) = 12 and run = 3 - (-6) = 9 slope = rise/run therefore, slope = 12/9 = 4/3
