Let me start from the meaning of half plane.you must have learned that there are two axes X and Y axes which includes positive X axes and negative X axes and there is positive Y axes and negative y axes. So there are four quadrants which i have explained in the figure. I have explained the meaning of Half plane in the Diagram also. Half plane=Figure obtained by covering any two adjacent regions of the coordinate axes.So we get four half planes.
Now your question is k is a half plane determined by QR, such that 0<x≤180 and there is exactly one ray QRP that lies in k
The slope of a line is the amount of units it goes across the x axis by how many units it goes up the y axis. A line with slope 3 goes 3 spaces up for every one space along.
