Slope is the ratio of rise over run. When given two points, you can determine the rise by finding the difference between the y-coordinates. You can determine the run by finding the difference between the x-coordinates.

Answer 1

The correct explanation is: "Slope is the ratio of rise over run. When given two points, you can determine the rise by finding the difference between the y-coordinates. You can determine the run by finding the difference between the x-coordinates."

This gives the formula m = (y2 − y1) / (x2 − x1).
