Question

A local road rises 14 feet for every 472 feet of highway. What is the slope of the highway?

Answer 1

Positive 14/472 (because of rise over run when finding slope)

Answer 2

Info:

Use rise over run when finding slope

U can solve by yourlsf by  knowing:'

"A line with a positive slope (m > 0), as the line above, rises from left to right whereas a line with a negative slope (m < 0) falls from left to right. A line with the slope zero (m = 0) is horizontal whereas a line with an undefined slope is vertical. ... You can interpret a slope of a line as the rate of change."

Answer:

+14/472
