Answer:
1.04 inch
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Old house has a basement stairways with 7.25 inch vertical riser and 7 inch horizontal treads.
Remember; horizontal treads is known as run in steps.
Now, calculating the slope of the stairways.
Formula: 
Rise= 7.25 inch
Run= 7 inch.
Subtituting the value in the formula
Slope= 
(∵ Round to two decimal)
∴ Slope of stairways is 1.04.
The values have being matched to the variables that they represent here:
- x-variable: the number of hours Sam works at the airport
- y variable: the amount in dollars that Sam has after paying back Daniel
- 12: amount in dollars that Sam earns per hour.
- 40: the amount in dollars Sam owes Daniel
<h3>How to solve for the equation.</h3>
The equation of this form y = 12x-40
The variable y has been said to be the amount sam has after Daniel has been paid.
X is the amount that has to be multiplied by what he earns in dollars by the hour.
40 dollars is the amount that he owes which is going to be subtracted from what he earns by the hour.

Parallel lines have the same slope so you use the 8 from the equation and plug in with your points to point slope form equation
