Problem
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.
Step-by-step solution
The slope formula $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$ is invariant to the order of points. If points are swapped, the numerator and denominator both change sign, resulting in the same slope.
Answer
False
