Answer: 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is found by doing:
(x1 and y1 must be from the same ordered pair and x and y must be from the same ordered pair, however point (x1,y1) and (x,y) can be used interchangeably)
Let us say that (x1,y1) is (3,18)
And (x,y) is (5,30)
Given:
The values are .
To find:
The values of and
.
Solution:
We have,
...(i)
Multiply both sides by 10.
...(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
And,
Now, the product of a and b is:
The quotient of a and b is:
Therefore, the required values are and
.
