Geocache Description:


Yes, sorry folks....grandson William is still doing online Math.

Current topic: SLOPE OF A LINE.

The good news is that it is a roadside, no TOTT required, no bushwacking.

Final NORTH coords will be N42 AB.CDE, where A,B,C,D,E represent the slope of the line.

A:  y = 5x - 6

B:  y = 3x + 7

C: 9x - y - 3 = 0

D: 10x - 2y + 8 = 0

E: 8x - y + 4 = 0           Bring on the snow, so we can hit the slopes!

Final WEST coords will be W080 FG.HIJ, where F,G,H,I,J represent the y-intercept.

F: y = 5x + 2

G: -3x - y + 5 = 0

H: -9x + y = 1

I: 3x - y + 6 = 0

J: -y = -x - 5       

Please be aware that farm vehicles use this road spring, summer, fall.

Out of respect for the locals, no dusk-to-dawn caching.
