What does the phrase rise over run refer to when defining slope

Physics
1 answer:
horsena [70]3 years ago
4 0
I just learned this. Rise over run is also rise divided by run.  The rise refers to the y axis (since y is vertical so it's rising), and run refers to the x axis (Since x is horizontal so it's running straight).  So in other words, rise/run = y/x.  To calculate the slope, you do y/x.  For example, if you have y=3 and x=8, then your slope is 3/8.  To plot that on a graph, you start from your point, and go up three, and across 8.  Hope this helps.

dusya [7]

Answer: Using fuel that has a lower-than-specified fuel rating.

Explanation:

Most likely, what causes the cylinder head temperature and engine oil temperature gauges to exceed their normal operating ranges is using fuel that has a lower-than-specified fuel rating. This can lead to detonation of the engine which is the tendency for the fuel to pre-ignite or auto-ignite in an engine's combustion chamber.The cylinder head and the engine oil are part of the automobile systems that helps in fuel combustion.

Explain: What happens to the velocity of a stream as the size of the sediment increases?
artcher [175]

Answer:

Also, as stream depth increases, the hydraulic radius increases thereby making the stream more free flowing. Both of these factors lead to an increase in stream velocity. The increased velocity and the increased cross-sectional area mean that discharge increases.
