I need to find the slope of (1/3,1/2)(1/6,1/2)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well, the y components are the same so that tells you it never moves no matter how far x moves

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if your going down the road and never change elevations; like here in florida; whats the slope?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

change in y 0 ---------- = ------------- ; has a slope of? change in x any change in x

If you arr familiar with the rule for finding a slope (y2 -y1)/(x2-x1) and you are put off by the fractions just multiply each fraction by 5 whuich will convert them all to legitimate whole number equivalents and thuis easy to work out. However Amistre as usual is correct in his statement about the y part in each coordinate being the same in effect giving the slope a zero gradient.
