Question

bandile want to start cycling and she wants to know the slope of the route she planning to take. if her location is indicated on a coordinate system of axis , her starting point is at (2:3) and the finishing point is at (8:6) determine the the slope when straight line is drawn between these points state whether the line has descending or ascending trend from left to right on the co-ordinates system of axis

Answer 1

Writing the slope formula by substitution;

m= (6 - 3) / (8 - 2)m=(6−3)/(8−2)

m = 3 / 6m=3/6

Solve to the simplest form of fraction;

m = 1/2m=1/2

OR

m = 0.5m=0.5
