07/06/24 - Road Map to Calculus

Just realised the past few blogs were missing something...can you spot it too?

Hello all, back at it again for these exercises.

Looking forward to this long weekend (thank you King Charles) after a long week at work. But anyway, we are starting off at Question 8, finding the slope of the line using the two points given. As with yesterday, fairly straightforward stuff. The equation for this is:

\(m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\)

Where you combine the coordinates of the points (x1, y1)(x2, y2). And as long as both x’s don’t equal each other, you will receive the slope, m.

A few integer slopes, a few fractions, a couple of zero slopes and a couple of undefined slopes.

Going to end it here, at Question 15, and we’ll pick up from here tomorrow.

Thank you for tuning in for a small blog but I am buggered.

Steve.
