Question

You lean against a wall. Your feet are 10 cm away from the wall and your head touches the wall at point 170 cm off the ground. What is the slope of your body?

Answer 1

The slope of your body is -17

Explanation:

In order to find slope we have to use this equation:
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

The two points we are given are (10, 0) and and (0, 170). Let's input these values into our equation

`(170 - 0)/(0-10)`

Now let's simplify:
`(170)/(-10)` = -17

The slope of your body is -17

Answer 2
