Calculations The slope is calculated as thus: Slope Change in y value _dy_13 - ys fredshift] " Change in x value Ax X, - x, [Mpc () The slope of our best fit line is the Hubble Constant but it is in the wrong units. To convert from [redshift/Mpel into [(km/s)>pe] you must multiply by the speed of light in kmiss Slope . (3 x 10") = Hubble Constant (B.) Mpe Jon/s, If you look closely, then, we have a unit of distance/time/distance which should equal Utime What could this strange unit signify for our non-cyclic universe? It is the Data Table 2: Vertices chosen from line of best fit. Use equation 1 & 2 to find slope & He. X1 (Mpe) Y1 X2 (Mpc) Xa - X: (Mpe) Y2 . YI Stope H. (km/s/Mpe)
