When measuring the slope of a line using a right triangle drawn between two points, what are the vertical and horizontal distances called?

1. When finding slope with a right triangle between two points, the vertical leg and the horizontal leg each get their own name. 2. The vertical distance is called the rise, and the horizontal distance is called the run. 3. Height and width, or base and side, are not the specific terms used for this part of finding slope. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 11 "Graphs", section 11.4 Understand Slope of a Line_
