SOLUTION
Given:
A blueprint of a shopping complex shows the bottom edge of the roof to be 68 feet above the ground. If the roof rises to a point 122 feet above the ground over a horizontal distance of 4.5 yards, what is the slope of the roof?
![Slope\text{ =}(rise)/(run)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/iyjphnfy1xg6m2mypn9vfb9dtlz9e5hcrz.png)
![\begin{gathered} Rise\text{ =122-68=54 feet} \\ Run=4.5yards=13.5feet \end{gathered}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/hu2sebdiiexlv2pkea90kd0lg7uw6x61q6.png)
![\therefore Slope=(54)/(13.5)=4feet](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/449i77jx1itcatcrzkaassc2emyfuzk3af.png)
Final answer:
