Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We can determine the slope of a straight line using the formula: 
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)

If we consider points A and B in Exhibit 1A-3, we can see that the change in y is 2 and the change in x is 4. Therefore, the slope of line AB is:

slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
slope = 2 / 4
slope = 1/2

So, the best choice is C) 1/2.
