Correct choices:
- (y2 − y1) / (x2 − x1)
- rise / run
- ratio of the change in y-values (rise) for a segment of the graph to the corresponding change in x-values (run)
Why: Slope measures change in y divided by change in x. The other two (x2 − x1)/(y2 − y1) and run/rise are the reciprocal, not the slope.
