Question

Which of the following does not describe slope?

A. A line joining points.
B. A constant rate of change
C. A proportional relationship
D. A measure of change
I know it's not B or C but could anyone please help.

Answer 1

Option a

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option a) A line joining points, does not describe the slope.

Explanation:

Slope of a line:

• Slope is calculated by finding the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two distinct points on a line.
• It is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.
• Slope of a line is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line.
• Slope gives the constant rate of change or a measure of change between two points.

Hence, from the given options slope is not a line segment joining two points but it is the change in the line segment between two points.

Hence, option a) A line joining points, does not describe the slope.
