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 for Blank 1:

Answer 1

Use y2-y1 over x2-x1. y2=60 y1=45 x2=150 x1=15

Answer 2

@Abyss19707 so how would i write this in simplet fom ?

Answer 3

well you would first do 60-45 which equals 15. Next you would do 150-15 which equals 135. Now place 15 over 135 and simplify

Answer 4

@Abyss19707 thank you
