ok got iT!! :D
As you can see, the biker and his friend are having a hard time getting up the hill. They would like to get to the top safely. Two ordered pairs on the hill are given as (6, 3) and (8, 7).
Part 1: Find the slope of the hill.
Slope (m) = change in y over change in x.
hartnn (hartnn):
The slope of the line through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by :
\(\huge m=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\)
now,just put the values and find m.
here u have 2 points as
(x1=6, y1=3) and (x2=8,y2=7)
OpenStudy (hba):
Can you plug in the points and find ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3-7
6-8?
hartnn (hartnn):
