slope rating based on calculation formulas
120855
Slope rating shows how difficult a particular course from a certain set of tees is for an average (bogey) golfer. The number ranges from 55 (very easy) to 155 (very difficult) and is computed from the difference between the course rating and the bogey rating. It is a patented process owned by the USGA.

It theoreticaly should not be too dificult to solve using vectors.  I am not going to solve it because I would prefer having exact values to work with, but basicaly, what you would need to do is find the complete distance, also make a graph where you find the time intersect of the torpedo and boat, and work with the x/y components to figure out what would be the ideal inclination.  It is a complex problem where you must work with more than one vector system, but it is doable if you work in parts.

Well since you have to plot this on a graph this might be hard to explain only using english - but I'll try.\nQ would be 2 places to the right (from (0,0)) and 3 places up on your graph.  R is 1 place to the left and 1 place down.  S lies 4 places to the left and 2 places up.  Once these are graphed you can see that there is no way they can lay on a single line - so no they don't.\nSlope = rise/run.  R is 3 places below S and 3 places to the right so your rise/run = 3/3 and your slope = -1 (it's negative 1 because the line is sloping doen and not up).  If you were doing the slope from R to Q the slope would be positive.\nI hope this helps, good luck.  Hooray for math!

The slope is 1/3 and the point is (-2, -4).

the formula equation for point-slope form is:  y-y1= m(x-x1)...the person that answer b4 me is a dipsh*t......\n\nall u need to do now is substitute (plug-in) the given info....\n\ny-5= m(x+4)\n\nto find m (slope)...well f*ck it, ill do it for you...\n\nm=-3/10\n\nTHEREFORE:  the final point slope equation that passes thru (-4,5) and (6,2) is..... y-5= -3/10(x+4)\n\n\nyour welcome

the slope will be (0 + 9) / (-8 +7) = 9/-1 = -9 --> m = -9\n\nnow take a point and plug it in to the formula y = mx + b.\n0 = -9(-8) + b ---> b = -72\n\nnow your done. y = -9x - 72

The slope of a line is defined as:\n\nm = (change in y) / (change in x)\n\nor:\n\nm = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)\n\nGiven the points (-3, 3) and (0,-3) means:\n\nx1 = -3\nx2 = 0\ny1 = 3\ny2 = -3\n\nPlugging these numbers into the equation for m yields:\n\nm = (-3 - 3) / (0 - -3)\n\nm = (-3 - 3) / (0 + 3)\n\nm = (-6) / (3)\n\nm = -2\n\nNote that a slope of 0 means that there is no change in y, or that y1 = y2

Find the derivative to get an equation for the slope and then analyze it.  If you have a positive slope for the entire range that means your slope is greatest at the highest value.  If you want to know whether or not the slope goes up and down in your range, set the derivative to zero and solve.  If any of those zero values fall within your range (no), it means that the slope has changed directions and either gone up or down.  Use that answer to evaluate your equation.

Hi.  Well it depends on where you live.  If you live in the United States.  We use a decimal system.  The system goes from a 5.5-5.15.  The first number (5) never changes in rock climbing.  The number goes with the hiking system.  The hiking system goes from 1-5, and five means you need a rope.  The next number means how easy or hard the route is.  5.5 is super easy.  The tricky part comes from 5.10 and up.  The system then can go to letters ie: 5.10A, 5.10B, 5.10C, and 5.10D.  The 5.10A means it is an easy 5.10, and a 5.10D means it is a hard 5.10.  You can use that or you can just say that a route is a 5.10- or a 5.10+.  A 5.10- means the route is mostly with a few 5.9 moves and a 5.10+ means the route is mostly 5.10 moves, but may have a few 5.11 moves.  The best way to figure out rating is to climb at a gym or outside to figure it out, but rating vary from gym to gym, and from coast to coast.  The rating is in the eye of the beholder.  This system is used for routes that you need a rope.  Bouldering has a totally different numbering system developed by this guy named John Long.  It use the letter system V0, and up.  V0 is the easiest.  \n\nEnjoy yourself and Climb Hard!  \nAnymore questions just E-mail me.

Formula for linear slope is y=mx+b\n5y=10x-10\nDivide the 10x-10 and 5y  by 5 to get\ny=2x-2\n-21+7y=14\nAdd -21 to both sides to get\n7y=35 Hence y=5\nx=-5 The slope is undefined. IF you graph the line and take two coordinates and use the formulas (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) you get 0 at the bottom. Anything divided by 0 is undefined.\nY-5=2 is add the 5 to both sides to get y=7

slope is a fraction found by subtracting the two y-coordinates and putting this on top, then subtracting the two x-coordinates (in the same order as you did for y) and putting this on bottom.  So, either\n\n(4-2)/(1- -6) = 2/7\n\nor\n\n(2-4)/(-6 - 1) = -2/-7 which is also 2/7 since a negative divided by a negative is positive

Slope = 1/4\n\nSlope is the "change in y" divided by the "change in x" (AKA "rise" over "run").\n\n(x1, y1) = (1, 3)\n(x2, y2) = (5, 4)\n\nThus:\n\nm (slope) = "delta y"/"delta x"\nm = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)\nm = (4 - 3)/(5 - 1)\nm = 1/4

Formulas for what?\n\nYou might look for a copy of Engineering Formulas by Kurt Gieck. It was published by McGraw Hill. The 5th edition has the ISBN number 0-07-023231-8

Consider this as two ordered pairs, (10, 50) and (40, 104), with C as x and F as y.  The slope is  (104 - 50)/(40 - 10) = 9/5 = 1.8, so the equation is y = 1.8x + b, where you still don't know b.  Use the first point to see that 50 = 1.8*10 + b ==> b = 50 - 18 = 32.  So y = 1.8x + 32, or F = 1.8C + 32.  This is easy to verify as correct, because it is a well known conversion formula.  You may already know it by heart, but I'm assuming you were required to show your work.
