Slope of the line-parallel and perpendicular

Reference no: EM13117277

As I have learned about parallel and perpendicular slopes, the slope is m=rise/run. Completely understand the perpendicular with a 90 degree offset. Can someone explain, why the rise/run is the same anywhere on the straight line? Is there a mathematical argument for this? If so/not then can someone explain? Any explanation is greatly appreciated.
