Question 883459: The formula for the slope of a line is given by m=y2-y1/x2-x1
Identify the true statement about the slope formula:
1)The subscripts 1 and 2 refer to the two intercepts of the linear equation
2)x^2 and y^2 should always be larger in value than x^1 and y^1 since they appear first in the formula
3)The x and y values represent the x and y coordinates of one point that is on the graph of the linear equation and one that is NOT on the graph of the linear equation
4)The x and y values represent the x and y intercepts of the two different linear equations
5)The x and y values represent the x and y coordinates of two points of the linear equation

1) the subscripts refer to any two points on the line.
2) it doesn't matter which point is point one or which is point two.
3) see #1
4)they are ANY two points on the line.
5) the correct answer
