Question

Last 2 problems that were too difficult for me, please don't get mad at me for sending a lot.

Answer 1

Question 1: Slope =
`(1)/(3)` feet

Question 2: Slope = 4

Explanation:

Question 1:

The pitch of a roof is the inclination of that roof. The "slopiness" of the roof. Whether it is steep or not.

To know the pitch, we need to find the "RISE" over "RUN". That means the "height" from ground and the "length" from initial position.

The height is shown in the figure as 4 ft

The length is shown in the figure as 12 ft

The slope is the quotient of it.

Hence,

Slope = 4/12 = 1/3 feet

Question 2:

To find slope from table of points, we need 2 coordinate pairs in the form (x,y). Lets take the first two points.

(1,2)

and

(3,10)

The slope would be the change in y coordinates of both (2nd point y coordinate - 1st point y coordinate) DIVIDED by the change in x coordinates of both (2nd point x coordinate - 1st point x coordinate). So:

Change in y coordinates = 10 - 2 = 8

Change in x coordinates = 3 - 1 = 2

Thus,

Slope = change in y/change in x = 8/2 = 4

Slope = 4
