Question

In a word problem, instead of calling it the slope, we call it the starting point instead.

True
False

Answer 1

The correct answer is true

Answer 2

It is true that in a word problem, instead of calling it the slope, we call it the starting point instead.
Although the two terms are interchangeable, in presenting the mathematical question, we need to use the term starting point so as to refer to the place where the slope starts, and not the whole slope.
