What is the ratio of the rise to the run between any two points on the line?

The ratio of the rise to the run between any two points on a line is known as the slope of the line. It is calculated by taking the difference in the y-coordinates (rise) and dividing it by the difference in the x-coordinates (run). Mathematically, this is expressed as ( \text{slope} = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} ). This ratio remains constant for a straight line, indicating a uniform rate of change.

Why does the ratio of rise and run in a linear function always the same?

The ratio of rise and run in a linear function (which its graph is a nonvertical line) is called the slope of the line. We can calculate the slope of the line by using any two points on the line and always the ratio of changes on their y-coordinates and the changes on x-coordinates (rise and run) is constant (unchanged). The reason is that two points determine a line and its direction, so the line is fixed and extends without end in that direction. Any line intersects the x-axis only at one point (we call it the x-intercept point) by forming an angle α (the inclination angle), where 0˚ ≤ α < 180˚, that is measured from the positive x-axis to the line. There is a theorem that state that the slope of a nonvertical line is the tangent of its inclination: m = tan α if α ≠ 90˚ (if α = 90˚, then the line is vertical and has no slope).


Rise is the horizontal change between any two points on a line?

No, rise is the vertical change. Run is the horizontal change.

Why is the slope between any two points on the straight line always to same?

The slope between any two points on a straight line is constant because a straight line represents a linear relationship between the two variables. This means that the rate of change remains consistent regardless of which two points you choose on the line. Mathematically, the slope is calculated as the change in the vertical direction (rise) over the change in the horizontal direction (run), and for a straight line, this ratio does not vary. Therefore, the slope remains the same for all pairs of points on that line.


Define slope of a line?

Rise/Run (The rise of the slope divided by the run of the slope.)

What is the slope of the equation 5x plus 4y equals 8?

The slope is defined as the ratio of the "rise" divided by the "run" between two points on a line, or in other words, the ratio of the altitude change to the horizontal distance between any two points on the line. Given two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on a line, the slope m of the line isFor equation:5x + 4y = 8the two intercepts are: (0,2) and (8/5,0)The slope = (2-0)/(0-8/5) = - 10/8 = - 5/4
