Slope = change in vertical distance (on a graph)/change in horizontal distance, so in this case, the slope would be 11/112, or 0.982142857...
To find the slope of the driveway, we need to determine the ratio of the vertical rise (11 feet) to the horizontal distance (112 feet).
The slope formula is given by:
Slope = Rise / Run
In this case, the rise is 11 feet (vertical change) and the run is 112 feet (horizontal change).
Slope = 11 feet / 112 feet
To find the slope, divide the rise (11 feet) by the run (112 feet):
Slope = 11 / 112
Slope = 0.0982 (rounded to four decimal places)
Therefore, the slope of the driveway is approximately 0.0982.
