I GIVE GOLD MEDALS!!!



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?

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

Answer 1

let me see ok

Answer 2

i've been trying for about an hour and couldn't figure it out...I was hoping someone on OS could help and tell me how they figured it out

Answer 3

this one is tough

Answer 4

slope between two points = change in y/change in x

Answer 5

so i would take each change and devide them... and thats my answer???

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

(55-35)/(150-10)

Answer 8

so...20 / 140 = 0.142

Answer 9

no, reduce the fraction. dont make it into a decimal.

Answer 10

or 140/20=7

Answer 11

yes.
1/7
