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
