A construction company is building a roof on a house. The horizontal distance from the edge of the
roof to the peak is 25 feet. The vertical distance from the edge of the roof to the peak is 6.25 feet. What is the slope of
the roof? Write in the simplest form.



Answer :

The slope of the roof is 0.25

What is a slope ?

A line's slope is how steeply it slopes from LEFT to RIGHT. The slope of a line is determined by dividing its rise, or vertical change, by its run, or horizontal change. No matter which two locations on the line you choose, the slope of a line is always constant (it never varies).

The ratio of the increase in elevation between two points to the run in elevation between those same two points is referred to as the slope.

The slope-intercept form of an equation is used whenever the equation of a line is expressed in the form y = mx + b. M represents the line's slope. And b is the value of b at the y-intercept (0, b).

To find slope

= 6.25 / 25

= 0.25
