You are an intrepid explorer, navigating a scenery of rolling hills at night. It is completely dark, and your only source of information is your handheld computer which will give you the next point on your journey. You have heard that there exists a treasure here, and your only clue is that the treasure is located in an incline where the slope between your current position and the next coordinate is above X. Your task is to navigate this landscape and locate the coordinates of the treasure. Example:
Given a list of coordinates (your test input) (x, y):
[(1, 1), (2.0, 1.8), (2.5, 2.1), (3, 2), (4.3, 7.2), (5.3, 6.2)]
we can calculate the slope along the coordinates:
[0.8, 0.6, -0.2, 4.0, -1.0] # be wary of rounding of these numbers
given a threshold of 1, the coordinate we are looking for is: (4.3, 7.2)
