Question

What is not a description of slope?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (d) is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is:

• rise over run
• The rate of change of a line
• Change in y over the change in x
• The ratio of vertical change  to the horizontal change.

It can be given by mathematically as follows :

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{and}\\\\m=\dfrac{dy}{dx}$

Hence, the option which is not a description of slope is (d) "the ratio of horizontal change compared to vertical change"
