| 2 | 1/24 | 1) Read Section 1.2 2) Do P. 24 # 1-9,11,15,19,21,25,27,33,37,41,43,45,57,63,69,70 3) In the wxMaxima example of homework 1, the line dist(a,b):=sqrt((a[1]-b[1])^2+(a[2]-b[2])^2); defines dist as a so-called macro. Modify this macro so you have one that calculates the slope of a line through two points. Here's how it should start: slope(a,b):= Then use it to check your answers to problems where you needed to calculate slope from two points. If you have had trouble installing wxMaxima on your computer, but still want to install it, try following these instructions. For Mac users, see the two pages maxima install and wxMaxima packages.
