You go on a camping trip with your class and you Algebra teacher gives you directions back to the bus using what you learned about slope.
You are currently standing at point (3,2) You the walk:
~ 1.5 units to the right
~ 4 units down
~ 2 units to the left
~ 6 unites up
~ 7 unites to the right
At what coordinate point would the bus be located?
What is the slope of the line between your origin and destination?
You are currently standing at point (3,2) You the walk:
~ 1.5 units to the right
~ 4 units down
~ 2 units to the left
~ 6 unites up
~ 7 unites to the right
So we have (3,2) + (1.5, 0) + (0, - 4) + (-2, 0) + (0, 6) + (7, 0)
And adding/subtracting x"s and y's, we have (9.5, 4)....and that's the bus location
And the slope between (3, 2) and (9.5, 4) is
[4 - 2] / [9.5 - 3 ] = 2 / 6.5 = 4 / 13
