To represent the "rise" and "run" of a line, we draw a line segment on a graph. The "rise" is the vertical change between two points on the line, while the "run" is the horizontal change between the same two points.
Let's say we have two points on the line: \( (x_1, y_1) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) \). The "rise" is the difference in the \( y \)-coordinates of these points, \( y_2 - y_1 \), and the "run" is the difference in the \( x \)-coordinates, \( x_2 - x_1 \).
The slope of the line is the ratio of the "rise" to the "run". In simplest form, the slope is given by:
\[ \text{Slope} = \frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]
If you provide the coordinates of two points on the line, I can calculate the slope for you.
So I would first select two points on the line. Your "run" line will be going from left to right between those two points and your "rise" line will connect the run and your graph on the side where they are not touching. It should look like a triangle.
To calculate slope, you do rise/run, where the rise and run values are the lengths of the lines you drew between the two points.
