Question

I got the wrong answer, does anyone know what the right answer is?

A. The distance between two points
B. The horizontal change compared to the vertical change between two points
C. the ratio of the change in y to the change in x along the line

Answer 1

It should be C.

The slope formula using 2 point is

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

That's another way of saying C. The problem with B is that it is the upside down of what the slope actually is.
