Question

Which of the following will give you the incorrect slope?

the quantity y subscript two minus y subscript one over the quantity x subscript two minus x subscript one
the quantity y subscript two minus y subscript one over the quantity x subscript one minus x subscript two
the quantity y subscript one minus y subscript two over the quantity x subscript one minus x subscript two
rise over run

Answer 1

The second choice will give the incorrect slope. If you name y2 first, then you have to name x2 first. Mixing them up makes it inconsistent.

Answer 2
