Labeling a Plot with a Slash for Division Sign

I'm trying to label a 2D plot with something like $A/B$ rather than $\frac{A}{B}$. I have tried:

Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}, AxesLabel -> {HoldForm[A/B], y}]

However, this leaves the $x$-axis as $\frac{A}{B}$. Any ideas?

Use InputForm:

Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}, AxesLabel -> {InputForm[A/B], y}]


Or just string:

Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}, AxesLabel -> {"A/B", y}]


You can also wrap these things in Style to get further:

Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}, AxesLabel -> {Style["A/B", 18, Bold, FontFamily -> "Georgia"], y}]

String works perfectly. I actually needed something in the form of $A/B_C$, which didn't render correctly with InputForm. Thanks. – cosmoguy Nov 26 '12 at 3:00

If you would like to get a display along the lines of the $\LaTeX$ command \nicefrac (with a shifted baseline for the numerator and denominator), you could do the following:

niceFrac[x_, y_] :=
DisplayForm[

What I did in the function niceFrac is to give the first argument a nudge upward, and the second argument an equal downward push relative to the / symbol. This may be a useful compromise when you don't want to be completely one-dimensional but also don't want to waste too much space with the stacked fraction.
I added the HoldAll attribute only to allow you to typeset more complicated expressions that you don't want to evaluate (could be left out).
