Answer: True, we can choose any two distinct points on a line to calculate the slope.

Explanation:

The slope of a line tells the rate of change of the dependent variable with respect to change in the independent variable.

For a line, the rate of change is constant.

Therefore, the slope of a line is constant.

Since, for any any two points, there is always a unique line passing through it it.

So, we can choose any two distinct points from the line, it doesn't matter with the answer, it will remain constant.
