Question

please answer....
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?

(Write your answer in simplest form, using / for a fraction bar if needed.)

Answer 1

wats that supposed to mean

Answer 2

To find a slope you do \[y2-y1/x2-x1\]

Answer 3

Here's a very badly drawn graph that illustrate what they mean by x and y. It's simply a distance, horizontal and vertical from the bottom of the lift, which is your origin
