Concepts

A slope triangle is formed between two points on a line by
drawing a horizontal segment (the run) and a vertical segment
(the rise) connecting them. What is the hypotenuse of this
triangle?

The segment of the line itself, between the two chosen points.

A third segment drawn separately from the rise and run, unrelated to the original line.

The longer of the rise and run legs.

The x-axis.
