Question

what happens to the rise and the run as you turn your line?

Answer 1

if it becomes more horizontal the "run" get larger and the "rise" get smaller,

Answer 2

\[\frac{ rise }{ run } \rightarrow \frac{ y-axis }{ x-axis }\]

Answer 3

rise/run is the slope(m)

Answer 4

If your rise gets higher, your slope gets higher. This is caused by a greater difference in the displacement of the y-coordinate.

If your run gets higher, your slope gets smaller. This is due to the displacement of the x-coordinate.

Answer 5

or the rise could stay fixed and the run could get large, either way the value of the fraction gets smaller as a whole if the line gets more "horizontal"

Answer 6

thank you guys. :) ♥

Answer 7

No problem!
