What is the formula for calculating the slope in the context of linear trends for slope-intercept form?
What is the formula for calculating the slope in the context of linear trends for slope-intercept form?
- $m = \frac{x_2 - x_1}{y_2 - y_1}$
- $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_1 - x_2}$
- $m = \frac{x_1 - x_2}{y_2 - y_1}$
- $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$ (correct)
