Question

State whether each sentence is true or false. If false replace the underlined word or number to make a true sentence. 

 

Any two points on a non vertical line can be used to determine the slope.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The provided sentence is true.

Step 1. Analyze the provided sentence.

The provided sentence represents the determination of slope associated with a line that is neither vertical nor horizontal with the help of the points present on that line.

Step 2. Determine the provided equation is true or false.

The provided sentence falls in the category of true because slope represents the angle that is between a horizontal line and the line that is neither vertical nor horizontal. The determination of the slope can be performed by taking help of the formula $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ in which the points are represented by $\left(x_1,y_1\right)$ and $\left(x_2,y_2\right)$.

Step 3. Write the conclusion.

The provided sentence is true so there is no requirement to change the underlined word.
