RISE

Rise

Definition Of Rise

Rise is the vertical distance between the two points on the graph.

More About Rise

The ratio of "rise" to the "run" founds the steepness or slope of the line. Slope = rise / run

Video Examples: Rise over Run

Example of Rise

From the above graph, run = 1 and rise = 4. So, slope = 4/1 = 4

Solved Example on Rise

Ques: Identify the rise from the slope 3/5

Choices:

A. 5
B. 3
C. 8
D. 2
Correct Answer: B

Solution:

tep 1: Slope = rise / run [Formula for finding the slope.]
Step 2: Slope = rise / run = 3/5 [Given.]
Step 3: So, rise is 3.

Quick Summary

Rise represents the change in the y-coordinate.
It is a key component in calculating the slope of a line.
A positive rise indicates an upward trend, while a negative rise indicates a downward trend.

\[ \text{Slope} = \frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}} \]

🍎 Teacher Insights

Use real-world examples, such as the slope of a ramp or a roof, to illustrate the concept of rise. Emphasize the importance of consistent units when calculating rise and run.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does a rise of 0 mean?
A: A rise of 0 indicates a horizontal line, meaning there is no vertical change between the two points.

Q: Can the rise be negative?
A: Yes, a negative rise indicates that the line is sloping downwards from left to right.
