What does the slope of a line on a graph represent?

• The change in horizontal value compared to vertical value

• The change in vertical value compared to horizontal value

• The total distance covered by the line

• The time taken for the line to reach its endpoint

How can you visually assess the slope of a line?

• By measuring the length of the line

• By looking at the color of the line

• By looking at the steepness of the line

• By counting the number of grid squares the line crosses

What is the formula for calculating the slope m of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

• m = (y2 + y1) / (x2 + x1)

• m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

• m = (x2 - x1) / (y2 - y1)

• m = (x2 + x1) / (y2 + y1)

What do the coordinates (x1, y1) represent in the context of calculating slope?

• The midpoint of the line

• The coordinates of the first point on the line

• The coordinates of the second point on the line

• The intersection point with the y-axis
