The correct response for finding slope is **rise over run**.
In more detail, when calculating the slope of a line, the "rise" refers to the change in the vertical direction (y-axis), and the "run" refers to the change in the horizontal direction (x-axis). The formula for slope (m) is:
\[ m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} \]
This means you measure how much you go up or down (rise) for every unit you move left or right (run).
