This math skill introduces the concept of slope, which involves calculating how far a line goes up (rise) relative to how far it moves horizontally (run). The slope is determined by dividing the rise by the run.

Slope, rise, and run concept intro
Test your understanding of slope, rise, and run concept intro by practicing it! Work through the below exercises to use it in practice.
🎙️
Let's calculate the slope of a line
🎙️
Slope has two parts, how far up, which we call rise, and how far over, which we call run
🎙️
Slope is rise divided by run.
🎙️
In this case our rise is 6, and our run is 2, so our slope is 6 divided by 2.
🎙️
Dividing these numbers, our slope is equal to 3
