Question: `q001 A straight line connects the points (3, 5) and (7, 17), while another straight line continues on from (7, 17) to the point (10, 29). Which line is steeper and on what basis to you claim your result?
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Your solution:
I used the slope formula to find the slope of each line. The line(3, 5) and (7, 17) slope is 3. The line (7, 17)and(10, 29)is 4. (7, 17) to the point (10, 29) has the steeper slope.

There are several questions in this assignment.
You probably still need to do Orientation Step 3 (fairly short and painless, but essential).
