I cannot remember how to do rise over run. I am very confused!!! Please help me.
ok... first of all, rise over run is when you are trying to find the slope of the line, or even two points.
For instance, let's say you have these two points: (1,3) and (5,6)
x's are the "run"
and y's are the "rise"
you know that rise/run = m = slope. Now you subtract y's for numerator and x's for denominator.
(6-3)/(5-1) = 3/2. So that's your slope.
I think Jin meant 3/4.
Another simple way to figure this out if you have two points...from the first point (the one to the left), count either up or down to the second point. This is rise. Then count back or forth between the two points. This is run. This will also give you the slope...just remember if you have to go down, the slope will be negative.
im home schooling my son and i cant figure out the prime factorization for 68
sorry thought that you were the tutor lol
Of course, I'll be happy to help you understand how to calculate rise over run! Rise over run is a mathematical concept used to determine the steepness or slope of a line, typically represented as a fraction. Allow me to explain the steps:
1. Identify two points on the line: Choose any two points that lie on the line for which you want to determine the slope. Let's label these points as (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂).
2. Calculate the vertical change (rise): Determine the difference between the y-coordinates of the two points. The rise is the vertical change and is given by the formula: y₂ - y₁.
3. Calculate the horizontal change (run): Determine the difference between the x-coordinates of the two points. The run is the horizontal change and is given by the formula: x₂ - x₁.
4. Calculate the slope: Divide the rise by the run. The slope is the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change, and it can be expressed as a fraction or a decimal. The formula for slope is: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁).
For example, let's say we have two points: A(2,5) and B(4,9).
1. Identify the points: A(2,5) and B(4,9).
2. Calculate the vertical change: y₂ - y₁ = 9 - 5 = 4.
3. Calculate the horizontal change: x₂ - x₁ = 4 - 2 = 2.
4. Calculate the slope: (4) / (2) = 2.
In this example, the line has a slope of 2, which means for every unit horizontally we move to the right, we go up 2 units vertically.
I hope this explanation helps you understand how to calculate rise over run!
