What is the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal chnage (run) of a nonvertical line?
It is called the slope of a line.
How would you define rise and run?
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.
On a line graph the ratio of the change in the y variable to the corresponding change in the x variable is called a lines what?
The rise and the run.
What is the slope and y-intercepect of a line?
The slope of a line is its "rise over run", or the ratio of its change in y to its change in x. The y intercept is a point where a line intersects the y axis.
The ratio of rise over run?
The ratio of rise over run is known as slope. In a linear equation, it can be found by identifying m in the equation Y=mx+b
What is the ratio of rise to run for any two points on a line?
give the ratio of rise to run for the line that contains points (-2,5) and (-2,-2)
What is the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal chnage (run) of a nonvertical line?
It is called the slope of a line.
What is the line called on a line graph that is the ratio of the change in the y-variable to the corresponding change in the x-variable?
The rise and the run.
What is the ratio of the rise and run between any two points on a nonvertical line called?
it is called the slope
The slope of a line is the ratio of what?
Rise/run or y-value change (can be negative) / x-value change (can be negative)
What is the vertical change when the slope of a line is expressed as the ratio of the rise to the run?
The vertical change between two points separated by a horizontal difference of Dx is Dx*slope = Dx*Rise/Run
How would you define rise and run?

How do you know which line is steeper in a graph?
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.
What do the terms rise and run have to do with slope?
"The ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on a line. It measures the steepness of a line." Rise = vertical change Run = horizontal change The terms are commonly used as "rise over run" because the equation for calculating the slope(m) of a line is: m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) the y points being the difference in rise and the x points being the difference in run m = rise / run
On a line graph the ratio of the change in the y variable to the corresponding change in the x variable is called a lines what?
The rise and the run.
What is the ratio of rise to run?
It is the slope.
How do you graph rise over run?
This is plotted with a straight line. The "rise" is how far the line rises vertically. the "run" is how far it traverses horizontally. The division "rise" / "run" is the "slope" of the line.
