Concept of slope simplified

Today today I wish to tell you about slope and auto racing .

lady and gentlemen ,start your engines! At 11 am on May 28 1995,32 men and one women began the Indianapolis 500. Three hours and 15 minutes later the Canadian racer Jacques Villeneuve crossed the finish line.

Meanwhile a family was travelling to Indianapolis and they took 9 hours for covering the same distance .

if we plot the distance travelled on the Y axis and the time on the X axis . The slope of that line will give the speed . Slope = vertical change /horizontal change  which is also tan of the angle .

The problem solving strategy “LOOK FOR PATTERN” is one of the most used strategies in mathematics
