If you calculate slope using $ ext{Rise} = (Y_B - Y_A)$ and $ ext{Run} = (X_B - X_A)$, what does this calculation fundamentally represent in a standard coordinate system?

Question

Accepted Answer

The change along the vertical axis divided by the change along the horizontal axis.. Slope is fundamentally defined as the ratio of vertical change (Rise, $ ext{Y}_B - ext{Y}_A$) to horizontal change (Run, $ ext{X}_B - ext{X}_A$), which represents the gradient or steepness.
