Modeling a Slope of 1/2 on a Geoboard

A site inspector is using a geoboard to model the incline of a small drainage channel that has a slope of 1/2. According to the slope formula m=riserunm = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}, what are the specific vertical (up) and horizontal (right) movements, in units, required to reach the second peg from the starting peg to correctly represent this slope?
