The slope of a line is rise over run. Learn how to calculate the slope of the line in a graph by finding the change in y and the change in x.
The vertical change between two points is called the <em>rise</em>, and the horizontal change is called the <em><u>run</u></em>. The slope equals the rise divided by the run: Slope =riserun Slope = rise run . You can determine the slope of a line from its graph by looking at the rise and run.
