Slope is described as follows:
a. [tex]\mathbf{\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}[/tex]
d. [tex]\mathbf{\frac{rise}{run}}[/tex]
e. ratio of the change in y-values (rise) for a segment on the graph to the corresponding change in x-values (run).
The slope of a straight line on a graph is the change in the vertical distance (along the y-axis) all over the change in the horizontal distance (along the x-axis).
This has been illustrated in the graph attached below.
The ratio of the change in the y-values to the change in the x-values of any segment on a graph is the same as:
[tex]\mathbf{slope(m) = \frac{rise}{run} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}[/tex]
Therefore, the following describes accurately what a slope is:
a. [tex]\mathbf{\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}[/tex]
d. [tex]\mathbf{\frac{rise}{run}}[/tex]
e. ratio of the change in y-values (rise) for a segment of the graph to the corresponding change in x-values (run).
