What is not a description of slope?
1 answer:
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
- <em><u>The ratio of vertical change to the horizontal change. </u></em>
It can be given by mathematically as follows :
Hence, the option which is not a description of slope is (d) "the ratio of horizontal change compared to vertical change"

Given :
A graph with a straight line on it.
To Find :
The equation of the line.
Solution :
From the given graph we can see that the line passes through point ( 0,6 ) and ( 4,10 ) .
Also, equation of line passes through two points and
is :
Putting all given values, we get :
Therefore, the equation of line is y - x = 6 .
The distance formula is given by:
We are given two points A and B as
A(1,1) and
B(7,-7)
so we have ,
x1 = 1 , y1=1
x2= 7 and y2=-7
Plugging these in the formula we have:
d=√(36+64)
d=√100
d=10
Answer: The distance between A(1,1) and B(7,-7) is 10
