Question

A toy airplane climbs 30 vertical feet while traveling 50 feet horizontally. A toy helicopter climbs 20 feet while traveling 40 feet horizontally. Assuming a steady rate of change, which toy traveled at a great slope?

Answer 1

1. airplane did because 3/5 > 1/2

Explanation:

Answer 2

Slope is the change in y over the change in x. The toy airplane would then have a slope of 3/5 and the toy helicopter would have a slope of 1/2. As 3/5 is greater than 1/2, the toy airplane would have a greater slope.
