We know, Slope = y2-y1 / x2-x1
& also, slope = rise / run

In short, Your Answer would be Option A & C

Hope this helps!

Answer:

(A) and (C)

Explanation:

Slope is defined as The slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, or a section of a line, connecting two points.

consider two points
(x_(1),x_(2)) and
(y_(1),y_(2)), then the slope formula is given as "rise over run", because the fraction consists of the "rise" (being the change in y, going up or down) divided by the "run" (being the change in x, going from left to the right).

Also, the slope formula is given as:


Slope=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))

Hence, the correct statements are:

(A) statement A and (C) statement C
