This math topic focuses on calculating the rise of a line given the slope, expressed as the ratio of rise over run. It involves interpreting the concept of slope and applying it to find the vertical change (rise) when the horizontal change (run) and the slope are known. The problems present different scenarios requiring the extraction and manipulation of values from the slope equation to deduce the rise of the line. The exercises are designed to strengthen understanding of linear functions, specifically how changes in one variable affect another according to the slope of the line.
