Question

Arrange the pairs of points in increasing order of the slopes of the lines joining them. (15, 30) and (20, 40)

Answer 1

Answer: m1 = 0.5

M2= 0.375

M3 = 2.25

M4 = 3.0

M5 = 13.5

M6 = 0.285

M7 = 7.0

Step-by-step explanation:

(20,40)-(15,30)=(5,10), m1=5/10=0.5

(18,48)-(12,32)=(6,16), m2=3/8=0.375

(72,32)-(27,12)=(45,20), m3=9/4=2.25

(60,20)-(45,15)=(15,5), m4=3.0

(243,18)-(27,2)=(216,16), m5=27/2=13.5

(24,84)-(18,63)=(6,21), m6=2/7=0.285...

(84,12)-(63,9)=(21,3), m7=7.0
