This math topic focuses on calculating the run of a line given its slope, expressed as a ratio of rise to run. Using integer values, students practice converting the description of the slope into an actual horizontal measurement or "run" of the line. This forms part of an introductory unit on understanding the concept of slope in linear equations, important for grasping the geometric interpretation of linear relationships and the measurement calculations involved in graphing such relationships. The topic is designed to help students apply their knowledge of slopes to find distances on a coordinate plane.
