ANSWER

A. True

EXPLANATION

Let

(x_1,y_1) = (1,2)



and

(x_2,y_2) = (2,3)


be two points on the straight line.

Then the slope is given by

m =  \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}


This implies that,

m =  \frac{3 - 2}{2 - 1}  =  \frac{1}{1}  = 1

Let us now choose it the other way round,


(x_1,y_1) = (2,3)
(x_2,y_2) = (1,2)


Then the slope is,

m =  \frac{2 - 3}{1 - 2}  =  \frac{ - 1}{ - 1}  = 1

We still had they same result. Hence it doesn't matter which one you choose to call

(x_1,y_1)
and which to call

(x_2,y_2)

A unit rate must have a denominator of one:

nevsk [136]

Let Lynette has originally candies in hand = x

She gave half to her son means x/2 given to son.

2 candies gave to daughter and left with 4.

x - x/2 - 2 = 4

adding 2 both sides

x - x/2 - 2 + 2 = 4 + 2

x - x/2 = 6

x /2 = 6

x = 12

Means she have 12 candies originally : Answer

Hope it will help :)
