Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find run between two points, you will use the x-values.
For example, (2,3) and (4,5).
Your equation for slope is m=[tex]\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
To find the run of these two numbers, you will subtract the second x value from the first x value.
Your answer would be 2 for the run.
It is possible for the rise to be negative if the y value of the point is greater in the first point than the second.
Example:
points (2,8) and (5,1)
1 - 8 would equal -7.
