It sounds like a way to describe the amount of pitch, or steepness, in a roof or similar structure - e.g., a rise of 12 feet over a run of 60 feet.

How do you represent slope?
Rise over run
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?
Another name for slope?
Rise over run ! Rise _____ run
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)
Do you divide the rise over run or vice verse?
Rise over run
What does it mean to the rise over run when the slope is an integer?
The slope can be remembered as "rise over run". When the slope is an integer, it means that the rise over run is positive.
What does slope represent?
In math, the slope of a line represents its steepness. It is the change in y values over the change in the values of x, or rise over run.
What is a run in math?
a run in math is referring to slope, which is rise over run. rise is how far you travel up, and run is how far you travel over.
How do you find the second point using rise over run?
Rise over run gives you slope, not points
Slope equals rise over what?
Slope equals rise over 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 does rise represent and what does run represent?
Rise represents the change in y-values on a graph, e.g. if the rise is equal to 10, the y-value changes by 10. Run represents the change in x-values on a graph, e.g. if the run is equal to 5, the x-value changes by 5. knowing both the rise and the run is necessary to calculate the gradient, or slope of a graph - this is done by dividing the rise by the run, in this case it would be equal to 10/5 = 2
