What is the slope of the compass needle (the bottom red line)?


Answer:
176/317
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for slope is [tex]\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}[/tex], which means you have to subtract the second point's y coordinate (286) minus the first point's y coordinate (110).
Now you have [tex]\frac{286-110}{x2 - x1}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{176}{x2 - x1}[/tex].
Now you have to do the same for x.
446 - 129 = 317, which gives you the final answer of
[tex]\frac{176}{317}[/tex], or about 0.555.
Hope this helps :)
