Does slope equal y/x or x/y? Does anyone have a method to help me remember which is which?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know, I sound stupid for asking, but I always forget

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well you must now the standard form:y=mx+n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where m is the slope

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Nah, that is a great question. Just remember slope is rise over run.

*bangs head* Thankyou so much, Skullpatrol, why must I always forget that??? Oh well, thanks again

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Thanks for asking :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you for the medal!!!

You will not forget if you understand that rise is measured in the y direction and run in the x direction.
