Jalen is computing the slope of the line on the graph below.

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (negative 4, 0) and (2, 3).

Step 1: (–4, 0) and (2, 3)

Step 2: StartFraction negative 4 minus 2 Over 0 minus 3 EndFraction

Step 3: StartFraction negative 6 Over negative 3 EndFraction

Step 4: The slope is 2.

Which statement describes Jalen’s error?
Jalen computed the ratio of change in x to change in y.
Jalen used the ordered pairs in the wrong order.
Jalen made a computational error.
Jalen used an ordered pair that is not on the line.
