Question

25. Road Grade You are driving on a road that has a 6% uphill grade. This means that the slope of the road is in Approximate the amount of vertical change in your position when you drive 200 meters.

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \Delta x=200\text{ meters} \\ \text{slope =}(6)/(100) \\ \Delta y=? \\ \text{slope}=(\Delta y)/(\Delta x) \\ \Delta y=\Delta x\cdot slope \\ \Delta y=(200meters)\cdot((6)/(100)) \\ \Delta y=12\text{meters} \\ \text{The vertical change is 12 meters} \end{gathered}`
