A toy airplane climbs 30 vertical feet while traveling 50 feet horizontally. A toy helicopter climbs 20 feet while traveling 40 feet horizontally. Assuming a steady rate of change, which toy traveled at a greater slope?

Slope is the change in y over the change in x. The toy airplane would then have a slope of 3/5 and the toy helicopter would have a slope of 1/2. As 3/5 is greater than 1/2, the toy airplane would have a greater slope.

Hope this helps!

The toy airplane traveled at a greater slope.

Slope traveled by toy plane

Slope of toy plane = vertical distance / horizontal distance

Slope of toy plane = 30 ft/50ft = 3/5 = 0.6

Slope traveled by toy Helicopter

Slope of helicopter = 20 ft / 40ft = 1/2 = 0.5

Thus, the toy airplane traveled at a greater slope.
