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?

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

Answer 2

Do you remember the slope formula?

Answer 3

If not, then it's

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Tell me what you get

Answer 4

mmmmm i get 0.111111111.......

Answer 5

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)



m = ( 60- 45)/(150-15)



m = 15/135



m = 1/9



So the slope is 1/9

which in decimal form is 0.1111

Answer 6

so you are correct, but they want the fraction

Answer 7

ohh ok lol so i put 1/9

Answer 8

exactly
