slope= change in y (vertical)/change in x (horizontal)
vertical=15 horizontal=24
slope= 15/24
**We can reduce this by dividing top and bottom by 3:
slope= 5/8
The slope of the ski run is 8 5 , indicating it descends 5 feet for every 8 feet of horizontal distance. In percentage terms, this equates to a 62.5% slope. This helps visualize the steepness of the run.
