Question

4. A line has a slope of - 4. Which of the follow-

ing could describe two points on the line?
A. (2,5) and (1,9)
B. (9,7) and (4,-6)
C. (1,4) and (2,8)
D. None of the above

Answer 1

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness.

Mathematically, slope is calculated as "rise over run" (change in y divided by change in x).

The slope of a line is its vertical change divided by its horizontal change, also known as rise over run.

When you have 2 points on a line on a graph the slope is the change in y divided by the change in x.

The slope of a line is a measure of how steep it is.
