Question

from a base elevation of 6800 feet, a mountain peak in colorado rises to a summit elevation of 14,260 feet over a horizontal distance of 15,847 feet. Find the grad of the peak

Answer 1

\[\Delta y/\Delta x=(14260-6800)/(15847)=.471\]

Answer 2

that is the rate the elevation is changing with respect to horizontal distance

Answer 3

Thank you, you said it's the rate, but is that the same as the grade

Answer 4

find the slope if is exists to the pair containing the pair of points (-4,-10) and (-5,-11)

Answer 5

(-11-(-10))/(-5-(-4))=-1/(-1)=1
