Responses

riserun
the fraction with numerator r i s e and denominator r u n

y2−y1x2−x1
the fraction with numerator y sub 2 minus y sub 1 and denominator x sub 2 minus x sub 1

x2−x1y2−y1
the fraction with numerator x sub 2 minus x sub 1 and denominator y sub 2 minus y sub 1

change in y-value over change in x-value
change in y-value over change in x-value

runrise

Answer 1

The three responses that properly describe "slope" are:

1. riserun
2. the fraction with numerator y2−y1 and denominator x2−x1 (this describes the slope formula)
3. change in y-value over change in x-value (this is another way to articulate the definition of slope)

The options "x2−x1y2−y1" and "runrise" do not correctly represent the concept of slope. The first one describes the inverse of the slope, and the latter is not a recognized term in the context of slope.
