Step-by-step explanation:
The attached diagram shows the triangle ABC formed by the ladder with the wall of the house.
Triangle ABC is a right angle triangle. It has a 90 degree angle. The length of the ladder forms the hypotenuse(AC)of the triangle. This length can be determined by applying Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent^2
AC^2 = 22^2 + 5^2
AC^2 = 484 + 25 = 509
AC = √509
AC = 22.56
The slope of the ladder is
(change in y)/(change in x)
Slope = 22/5 = 4.4
