This math topic focuses on calculating the rise of a line, which involves finding the change in the y-coordinate between two points on a Cartesian plane. Each problem provides a pair of points and asks students to determine the difference in their y-values, representing various levels of difficulty. This skill is foundational for understanding line equations and graphing, aiding students in visualizing and interpreting linear relationships between variables in a coordinate system.
