how do you find the vertical rise between two points on a line if their horizontal run is 6 and the slope of the line is 2/3
how do you find the vertical rise between two points on a line if their horizontal run is 6 and the slope of the line is 2/3
slope=riserun=23=rise623=rise623∗61=rise6∗612⧸3∗⧸621=rise⧸6∗⧸61rise=4
The slope can be expressed as rise/run (Always remember: the slope is rise over run. That will help you in the future.)
Since the slope is 2/3, the rise is 2 for every 3 units of run
There is 6 units of run, which is 3 times 2
Therefore, there must be 4 units of rise, because 2 times 2 is 4.
The verticle rise between the two points is 4.
