Respuesta :

The slope of a line is rise over run.

The line in this example rises -3 units and runs 20 units.

The slope = -3 / 20

Answer:

slope = -3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to get the y for the right triangle you do 9-6, which is 3

so now for the triangle we have y = 3, x = 20

slope = rise/run or y/x

slope = 3/20, but we're not done yet because you notice the slope is negative on the zip line because y goes down as x goes up, or it goes down as you go right.

so the slope is -3/20
