Answer:

Rise= y-axis

Run=x-axis

Slope=rate of change

Explanation:

Think of run as you are running on the ground. The x-axis is positioned to look like you would be able to run on a flat horizontal line. When it is referring to run, it means the y-axis because when you run you go up in a way, just like the y-axis. Rise and Run is a phrase used to represent slope because it is indicating that to calculate slope, you take your "y" value over your "x" value as in a fraction. For example
(y)/(x). Slope is just how fast a certain unit is changing at a consistent "speed".
