Determining Rise and Run for a -1/3 Slope

A logistics planner is using a geoboard to model the decline of a conveyor system with a slope of −13-\frac{1}{3}. Based on the definition of slope (m=riserunm = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}), state the specific value for the rise (vertical change) and the specific value for the run (horizontal change) required to accurately represent this slope on the geoboard.
