An architect needs to determine the slope between two points on a ski lift. The two points have been identified as (10, 35) and (150, 55), 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?

you know how to take out the slope between two points, I believe?

anonymous · Answer

If not, it's pretty easy:
Assume I have two points, (a,b) and (c,d)
The slope is given by -(d-b)/(c-a)
Try putting in the values of points you have.

no im really sorry i dont know anything about this i am so bad at math .. can you do it for me ? ill fan you and give you best answer :D <3

anonymous · Answer

I gave you the equation there. Try putting in the values? It's not math. It's just logic, really.
