Question

Can someone, anyone explain what units are for rise and run, please.

Answer 1

Rise/Run

or

`(rise)/(run)`

Explanation:

The formula for slope is referred to rise over run,

Because the fraction consists of the rise (the change in y, going up or down) divided by the run (the change in x, going from left to the right).

A rise over run equation would be formatted like this:

Rise/Run

or

`(rise)/(run)`

(i used to struggle with slopes, and i understand how much of a pain they are)
