Two points A (-2, 9) and B (4, 8) lie on a line l. (i) Find the slope of the line l. (ii) Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the points A and B (iii) Find the distance between points A and B.

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) For two different points on a line, the slope m is defined as the difference on the y-axis divided by the difference on the x-axis:

Where:

So:

(ii)

To find the coordinates of the midpoint, you can use the following formula:

Therefore:

(iii) The distance between two points is given by the following formula:

Hence:

the 1st digit is in the 100s n its 1

step-by-step explanation:

3,589÷18 = 199.389

so the first digit of the quotient is in the 100s n its 1

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
