Find the slope of a ski run that descends 15 feet for every horizontal change of 24 feet.

A common way of remembering slope is "Rise over Run," meaning vertical change divided by horizontal change. For your question that would be -15 (because it's going down) divided by 24 => -15/24 => -5/8
Final answer:
The slope is -5/8 feet.
Hope I helped :)
