Transcript text: Calculate the slope of the curve between points B and C.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the coordinates of points B and C.
Point B has coordinates (50, 10).
Point C has coordinates (70, 30).
Step 2: Apply the slope formula.
The slope formula is given by:
\(m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\)
where \(m\) is the slope, \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) are the coordinates of two points on the line.
In this case, we have:
\(x_1 = 50\), \(y_1 = 10\)
\(x_2 = 70\), \(y_2 = 30\)
Plugging these values into the slope formula, we get:
\(m = \frac{30 - 10}{70 - 50}\)
\(m = \frac{20}{20}\)
\(m = 1\)
Final Answer
The slope of the curve between points B and C is \(\boxed{1}\).
