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:

Step-by-step explanation:

$Slope "m" = \frac{rise}{run}$

$m_{playground} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}$

$m_{gym} = \frac{10}{6} = \frac{5}{3}$

$m_{gym} > m_{playground}$
