Rise over run

The slope of a roof is called its pitch. The Parthenon, an ancient Greek temple, has a roof with a rise of 3.6 meters and a run of 12 meters. What is the pitch of the roof?

Answer 1

I would say: "Constant of proportionality" and "rise over run" would both descri=be slope. Certainly the latter one.
