Question

find the slope of a mountain that decends 100 meters for every horizontal distance of 1000 meyers, I know its already answerd here but the site wont show me it so please help​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given: a mountain descends (getting down vertically) = 100 meter.

For getting down we would take it by a negative number so it would be -100 meter.

And every horizontal distance = 1,000 meter.

We know formula for slope is = Change in vertical distance/ Change in Horizontal distance.

Plugging values in formula of slope above, we get

Slope = -100/1000 = -1/10 or -0.1.

Therefore, we could say the slope of a mountain is
