Joyce Clayton · Answer 1

Here are the correct descriptions:

(y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)

rise/run

and

ratio of the change in y-values (rise) for a segment of the graph to the corresponding change in x-values (run)

Step-by-step explanation:

The other choices that I did not write about are false about slope there is

NO x-change above the y-change.

Johanna Murray · Answer 2

There r many ways to represent slope:

Rise / run

x2-x1 over y2-y1

Ratio of the change in y (rise) over the change in x (run)
