Let's examine the two EXTREME cases: d = 3 and d = 6
For each extreme case, we'll apply the slope formula using the given coordinates AND (0, 0), the coordinates of the origin.
Case i: d = 3
So, the coordinates are (3,3)
Slope = (3 - 0)/(3 - 0) = 3/3 =
1Case ii: d = 6
So, the coordinates are (3,6)
Slope = (6 - 0)/(3 - 0) = 6/3 =
2Do, the slope must be BETWEEN
