Chelsea walked up a road that has 15% grade to get to her favorite store. that means the slope of the hill was 15/100. at what angle does the road come up from the ground ?

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The grade of a road can be thought of as rise/run, and you usually see it as a percentage.

So, a 15% grade is the same as a grade of 15/100; for every 15 units the road goes up vertically, it goes 100 units horizontally

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Let

-----> angle does the road come up from the ground

The tangent of angle theta is equal to the ratio of the opposite side by the adjacent side

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.

ask the math teacher she or he would know lol.
