Question

Hank went hiking, and the vertical and horizontal distance he covered is shown below. Find the slope of the path that he hiked in simplest form. 1,350 feet 3,000 feet 4.

Answer 1

The slope is given by:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Slope}=m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) \\ \text{Where:} \\ (x1,y1)=(0,0) \\ (x2,y2)=(3000,1350) \\ m=(1350-0)/(3000-0)=(1350)/(3000)=(9)/(20)=0.45 \end{gathered}`
