This math topic focuses on calculating the rise of a line, which is the change in the y-coordinate between two points on a Cartesian plane. The problems present pairs of points, and the task is to determine the vertical change (rise) between them. This is essential for understanding the slope of a line, which is a fundamental aspect of the unit on line equations and graphing. Each problem provides multiple-choice answers, requiring the ability to accurately calculate differences between y-values given specific coordinates.
