Answer:

rise over run is 1/4

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the ratio of the rise to the run

Mathematically, this is simply referring to the slope

To get the slope, we need to select any two points and then apply the slope formula

The two points selected are;

(8,-6) and (-4,-9)

The slope formula is;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (-9 -(-6))/(-4-8) = -3/-12 = 1/4
