Respuesta :
The slope of the line representing the conversion of degrees to gradients is 1.11.
What do we mean by the slope of a line?
The slope of a line is the tangent to the positive angle that the line makes with the x-axis.
We can also find the slope of a line by using any two points (x, y) and (x, y) on the line, using the formula for slope m = (y - y)/(x - x).
How do we solve the given question?
In the question, we are given a table with readings of degrees and gradients converted from the degrees.
We are asked to find the slope of the line representing the conversion from degrees to gradients.
We take degrees on the x-axis and gradients on the y-axis, mark the points, and draw the trendline. (Check the attachment)
Now, to find the slope of this line, we take the point (-180, -200) as (x, y) and (270, 300) as (x, y).
Using the formula for slope m = (y - y)/(x - x), we find the slope of this line,
m = (300 - (-200))/(270 - (-180)) = (300 + 200)/(270 + 180) = 500/450 = 10/9.
Taking the slope in decimal form, rounded to the nearest hundredth, we get, m = 10/9 = 1.11.
∴ The slope of the line representing the conversion of degrees to gradients is 1.11.
