If you graph this, your first point will be at (0,5), as the ramp is at the warehouse door but 5 feet up. The second point is (10,0) as it is touching the ground but it's 10 feet away from the warehouse.
To find slope, you do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
When substituting in the variables, you get (0-5)/(10-0), which is -5/10, which is simplified to -1/2. Of course, that is when the warehouse is Quadrant II. If you look at it from another point of view, the slope will be positive so your answer is A) 1/2.

Answer:
∠TRS = 40°
Step-by-step explanation:
∠UTS is an exterior angle of the triangle
The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles, that is
∠UTS = ∠TRS + ∠RST
9x - 15 = 3x + 16 + x + 9
9x - 15 = 4x + 25 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
5x - 15 = 25 ( add 15 to both sides )
5x = 40 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 8
∠TRS = 3x + 16 = (3 × 8) + 16 = 24 + 16 = 40°
