What is the correct slope formula?

m = y 2 − y 1 x 2 − x 1 m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} m = x 2 − x 1 y 2 − y 1

m = x 2 − x 1 y 2 − y 1 m=\frac{x_2-x_1}{y_2-y_1} m = y 2 − y 1 x 2 − x 1

m = x 1 − y 1 x 2 − y 2 m=\frac{x_1-y_1}{x_2-y_2} m = x 2 − y 2 x 1 − y 1

m = x 2 − y 2 x 1 − y 1 m=\frac{x_2-y_2}{x_1-y_1} m = x 1 − y 1 x 2 − y 2

Which of the following expressions would correctly find the slope of the line that passes through (1, -19) and (-2, -7).

− 7 − ( − 19 ) − 2 − 1 \frac{-7-\left(-19\right)}{-2-1} − 2 − 1 − 7 − ( − 1 9 )

− 2 − 1 − 7 − ( − 19 ) \frac{-2-1}{-7-\left(-19\right)} − 7 − ( − 1 9 ) − 2 − 1

1 − ( − 19 ) − 2 − ( − 7 ) \frac{1-\left(-19\right)}{-2-\left(-7\right)} − 2 − ( − 7 ) 1 − ( − 1 9 )

− 2 − ( − 7 ) 1 − ( − 19 ) \frac{-2-\left(-7\right)}{1-\left(-19\right)} 1 − ( − 1 9 ) − 2 − ( − 7 )

Which statement is true?

All lines have a positive slope.

A line that contains points in Quadrant I and Quadrant III must have a negative slope.
