Question

An architect needs to determine the slope between two points on a ski lift. The two points have been identified as (15, 45) and (150, 60), where x is the horizontal distance and y is the vertical distance from the bottom of the lift. Assuming the lift runs in a straight line, what is the slope of the line between the two points?

Answer 1

First you determine the slope of the line:

\[y _{2}-y _{1}\div x _{2}-x _{1}\]

60-45 / 150-15

15/135

or 1/9

Answer 2

And that should be all
