Question

An engineer is designing a roller coaster. The tallest peak is 310 feet high. The roller coaster travels 155 horizontal feet as it descends the hill. What is the slope of the hill?

Answer 1

Answer: The slope of the hill would be 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know,

Slope= height/base

Here, height= height of the tallest peak= 310 feet

base= horizontal distance covered= 155 feet

So,

Slope= height/base= 310/155= 2

Answer 2

Answer:

It would be 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 310 divided by 155
