Please help I don’t know how to solve this

An escalator in a mall rises 28 feet over a horizontal distance of 48 feet. What is the slop of the escalator?

Respuesta :

The slope is 7/12 or 0.58333333333
An easy way to remember slope, is that it is the rise over the run or the change of the y axis over the change in x axis. For this problem, I divided the rise (28) by the run (48)
