True or False ,. . The slope of a line will depend on which of the two points you choose to call (x1, y1) and which you choose to call (x2, y2) when calculating the slope.

false

lets say u have 2 sets of points (1,2) , (3,4)
now lets say (1,2) is (x1,y1) and (3,4) is (x2,y2)
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope = (4-2) / (3-1) = 2/2 = 1

now, lets say (1,2) is (x2,y2) and (3,4) is (x1,y1)
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope = (2 - 4) / (1 - 3) = -2/-2 = 1

in conclusion, the naming of the points will not effect the slope

False.

It does not matter which is the called the first point or the second point.

The second point can be called the (x₁, y₁) and the first point (x₂, y₂).
