Understanding Slope Between Two Points

What is the formula for calculating the slope between two points?

• Y2 * y1 over X2 * X1

• Y2 / y1 over X2 / X1

• Y2 + y1 over X2 + X1

• Y2 - y1 over X2 - X1

When using a graph to find the slope, what does 'rise' refer to?

• The vertical distance between two points

• The total distance between two points

• The horizontal distance between two points

• The diagonal distance between two points

In the slope formula, what does the denominator (X2 - X1) represent?

• The change in y-values

• The product of x-values

• The change in x-values

• The sum of x-values

If you switch the order of points when calculating slope, what happens to the result?

• The slope becomes zero

• The slope remains the same

• The slope becomes negative

• The slope doubles
