Question

A piece of climbing equipment at a playground is 6 feet high and extends 4 feet horizontally. A piece of climbing equipment at a gym is 10 feet high and extends 6 feet horizontally. Which statement best compares the slopes of the two pieces of equipment?

Answer 1

Answer:

A piece of climbing equipment at a playground is 6 feet high and extends 4 feet horizontally.

Therefore its slope = length of the equipment vertically / length of equipment horizontally

=  6/4 = 3/2 = 1.5

And, A piece of climbing equipment at a gym is 10 feet high and extends 6 feet horizontally.

Therefore slope, =  10/6 = 5/3=1.67 (approx)

Since, <

Thus the slope of equipment first is less than slope of second equipment.
