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;

$m= (6 - 3) / (8 - 2)$

$m = 3 / 6$

Solve to the simplest form of fraction;

$m = 1/2$

OR

$m = 0.5$
