In the following example we calculate rise and run with the formulas: rise= y2 - y1 and run = x2 – x1 where (x1, y1) is the first point and (x2,y2) is the second. Example 1 Find the rise and the run for the two points in the sketch. Click here to view the graph and complete the exercise.
Did you get the correct answer?
rise= y2 - y1 =3-(-1)=4 run = x2 – x1 = 4-2=2
