Answer:

100\ \text{ft/mi}

Step-by-step explanation:

Elevation of the head of the stream is 2,200 feet above sea level

Elevation of the mouth of the stream is 1,000 feet

Rise = 2200-1000=1200\ \text{ft}

Distance between the two points = 63360\ \text{ft}=\dfrac{63360}{5280}=12\ \text{mi} = Run

Gradient is given by

\dfrac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}=\dfrac{1200}{12}\\ =100\ \text{ft/mi}

The gradient of the slope the stream is flowing over is 100\ \text{ft/mi}.
