The laying out of stairs can be a complicated task and should properly left to an experienced carpenter or architect. But a rule of thumb for an initial trial layout is that risers should be 7 ins. for a tread of 10 ins. The objective is to make the steps neither too steep or too "slow". Stairs that have too shallow or too steep a proportion can be dangerous.
One rule that gives a good result is:
Twice the rise per step plus the tread should equal 24

How do you find the slope of stairs?
Rise divided by run. That is, the height of the stairs divided by how much they measure across (horizontally).
What are you calculating if you divide rise by run?
rise/run x 100 is the percent of slope of a ramp, set of stairs, a street, and so forth.
What are the rise and run of a slope?
The rise is the difference in y coordinates for a line and the run is the difference in x coordinates. For a negative slope, the rise is negative and the run is positive.The slope is the "rise over the run", dividing the y difference by the x difference. The formula is :.Y2- Y1. _____.X2 -X1
How do you identify a negative and positive slope for the x and y axis?
You can use the formula x2 - y2 over x1 - y1 or you can use the formula: Rise over Run. If you use rise over run formula, you HAVE to make sure that you form a right triangle.
How many steps can you have in set of stairs?
when you add your rise and your run the two numbers have to equal between 15-17 inches. Typically there are 13.

What is the rise and run of stairs?
Stairs can be whatever you want them to be. It is usually a function of the room you have to work with and the elevation you are trying to bridge. 7 inch rise and 10 inch tread is very common.

Using limits and the basic gradient formula: rise/run.
