Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
Given statement: The slope of a line will depend on which of the two points you choose to call [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and which you choose to call [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] when calculating the slope.
This statement is false. Consider to points A(1,1) and B(3,3).
First, take the first point A and the second point B, then the slope of the line is
[tex]\dfrac{3-1}{3-1}=\dfrac{2}{2}=1[/tex]
Now, take the first point B and the second point A, then the slope of the line is
[tex]\dfrac{1-3}{1-3}=\dfrac{-2}{-2}=1[/tex]
As you can see, the slopes are the same and the order of points does not change the answer.
