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?

Do you know the definition of slope?

sburchette · Answer

Use the slope formula$$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$
