Answers

Slope = rise/run
Let x = run in feet
1/10 = (5 1/2 feet)/x
multiply both sides by x
x(1/10) = 5 1/2 feet
multiply both sides by 10
x = (10) (5 1/2 feet)
You do the last step.
Let x = run in feet
1/10 = (5 1/2 feet)/x
multiply both sides by x
x(1/10) = 5 1/2 feet
multiply both sides by 10
x = (10) (5 1/2 feet)
You do the last step.
