Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope between two points is calculated using the formula (change in Y)/(change in X). Assuming point a has a lower x-value than point b, if the change in Y is positive and the change in X is 100 (a common value for such problems), then the slope would be 25/100 = 0.25.
