In baseball, the pitcher's mound is 60.5 feet from home plate. If the fastest pitch ever recorded in Major League Baseball was 1
05.1 miles per hour, how many seconds did it take for the ball to travel from the pitcher's mound to home plate? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
To find the slope of a line you only need two points. The first point is (x1,y1) and the second point is (x2,y2). The slope m is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (10--10)/(-3--1) = 20/ -2 = -10. Answer: m = -10.
