From left to right. Y-b y-b m --- --- x-0 x If we multiply both sides of the equation by x we get mx y - b and adding b to both sides gives mx b y So if we define slope as riserun then this is the equation that any point on the line has to fit. The slope formula is sometimes called rise over run The simple way to think of the formula is.

Your goal is to find the change in the height of the line over the horizontal distance of the line. Finding Slope Using Rise Over Run. Slope Percent Amount of Rise Amount of Run x 100. The triangle diagram will be re-drawn to scale with all dimensions marked.
