Traveling along a path from A to B, what is the ratio of the change in y to the change in x?
A. 5/3
B. 4/7
C. 3/5
D. 2/3

Answer:
Option C. is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of a Line
Suppose we know the line passes through points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated with the equation:
[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Please note the slope measures the ratio of the change in y to the change in x.
The points of the graph are A=(-3,-2) B=(7,4). Calculating the slope:
[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{4-(-2)}{7-(-3)}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{6}{10}[/tex]
Simplifying by 2:
[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Option C. is correct
