Awalkway rises 3.5 ft for every 5 ft on the horizontal. find its slope (or grade).

The slope of a line describes the line's steepness and direction. Ir is given by the ratio of the rise to run of the line

The slope or grade of the walkway is 0.7

Reason:

Known parameters are;

The number of feet the walkway rises = 3.5 feet

The horizontal distance over which the walkway rises 3.5 ft. = 5 ft.

Required:

To find the slope of the walkway

Solution:

The slope or grade is the rate of change of height per unit change in horizontal distance

Therefore;

The slope or grade, m =

Which gives;

The slope or grade of the walkway is 0.7

The slope, or grade is .7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we take the change in y over the change in x.  It is also the change in the vertical over the change in the horizontal

3.5 ft/ 5 ft

.7

The slope, or grade is .7
