Question

The slope of a line in a blueprint must be 5/6<|m|<7/4. A line is drawn that contains the points A(5,6) and B(6,4). Determine if the line meets the required specifications.

Answer 1

The slope of line AB would be:


`Slope = m = (4-6)/(6-5) \\ \\ m= (-2)/(1) \\ \\ m=-2`

Thus, the slope of line AB is -2. The absolute value of the slope is 2 as |-2| =2 .

Since 2 does not lie in the given range, the line does not meet the required specifications.
