Question

what is the slope of this ramp? (because it is in the real world it will be positive)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the slope formula

Slope \(m=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}\). Here, the rise (vertical change) is \(6\) ft and the run (horizontal change) is \(8\) ft.

Step2: Calculate the slope

\(m = \frac{6}{8}\). Simplify the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by \(2\). \(\frac{6\div2}{8\div2}=\frac{3}{4}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{3}{4}\)
