Intuitively, its how much you move up or down each time you move right

atsie · Answer

The visual of that is very nicely put. :) @P0sitr0n 
Quick question. One definition I read online said "Rise over run just means y-axis as the numerator and x-axis as the denominator in the final fraction."
This is correct, right?

Could you maybe finish helping me? I'd really appreciate it! ^.^

queenie · Answer

rise/run = change in y/change in x....so yes, y/x...y being the numerator and x is the denominator

jigglypuff314 · Answer

That means the same thing, yes
rise is the amount of change in the y direction
and
run is the amount of change in the x direction

so when they say "rise over run"
it's just a simplified way of showing that slope = "change in y over change in x"
