It is called the slope of a line.
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.
The rise and the run.
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 is known as slope. In a linear equation, it can be found by identifying m in the equation Y=mx+b
give the ratio of rise to run for the line that contains points (-2,5) and (-2,-2)

it is called the slope
Rise/run or y-value change (can be negative) / x-value change (can be negative)
The vertical change between two points separated by a horizontal difference of Dx is Dx*slope = Dx*Rise/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.
"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

It is the slope.
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.
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.
