Slope of a Line 11-2 rise run vertical changehorizontal change change in ychange in x = This ratio is often referred to as , or “rise over run,” where rise indicates the number of units moved up or down and run indicates the number of units moved to the left or right. Slope can be positive, negative, zero, or undefined. A line with positive slope goes up from left to right. A line with negative slope goes down from left to right. Course 3 Linear equations have constant slope. For a line on the coordinate plane, slope is the following ratio:
