We have been given an incomplete statement. We are asked to complete the given statement.

Chelsea draws a slope triangle to help her find the equation of a line. From left to right, the changes in x is_____ and the change in y is ___.

We know that slope of a line is vertical change over horizontal change. Vertical change is also known as rise and horizontal change is known as run.

To find horizontal change we find the change as x moves from left to right. Therefore, from left to right, the changes in x is <u>run</u>.

To find vertical change we find the change as y moves from upward to downwards or downwards to upwards. Therefore, the change in y is rise.
