Answer:
1/13 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
When finding the gradient, or the slope of a graph, it is equal to y/x, and in real-life situations you can use height/length or rise/run
So in this scenario you can use 1 foot as the vertical rise and 13 feet horizontally as the run, resulting in 1/13 feet
