Question

The slope of a line will depend on which of the two points you choose to call

(x1, yı) and which you choose to call (X2, yz) when calculating the slope.

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

Given statement: The slope of a line will depend on which of the two points you choose to call
`(x_1,y_1)` and which you choose to call
`(x_2,y_2)` when calculating the slope.

This statement is false. Consider to points A(1,1) and B(3,3).

First, take the first point A and the second point B, then the slope of the line is

`(3-1)/(3-1)=(2)/(2)=1`

Now, take the first point B and the second point A, then the slope of the line is

`(1-3)/(1-3)=(-2)/(-2)=1`

As you can see, the slopes are the same and the order of points does not change the answer.
