A slope is measured as the:
A) value of the variable measured on the x-axis minus the value of the variable measured on the y-axis.
B) change in the value of variable on the y-axis divided by the change in the value of the variable on the x-axis.
C) value of the variable measured on the y-axis divided by the value of the variable measured on the x-axis.
D) value of the variable measured on the y-axis minus the value of the variable measured on the x-axis.
E) value of the variable measured on the x-axis divided by the value of the variable measured on the y-axis.

The slope is defined as the change in the value of the y-variable divided by the change in the value of the x-variable. This can be represented as (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line. Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
