Question

question 2 of 10
the change in the x-coordinates of any two points on a line in
the xy-plane is the _____.

a. rise
b. slope
c. run
d. angle

Explanation:

In the context of a line in the xy - plane, the "rise" is the change in the y - coordinates of two points on the line, the "slope" is calculated as $\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}$ (the ratio of the change in y - coordinates to the change in x - coordinates), and the "run" is defined as the change in the x - coordinates of two points on the line. The "angle" is related to the inclination of the line but not the change in x - coordinates. So the change in the x - coordinates of any two points on a line is the run.

Answer:

C. run
