Question

1. From a base elevation of 8100 ft, a mountain peak in Texas rises to a summit elevation of 14890 ft over a horizontal distance of 15835 ft. Find the grade of the peak.

What is the grade of the peak?

2. Solve

y-3 > - 16

3. Solve using the addition principle

2x +7 < x + 8

4. Find the slope, it exists

X+ 4y = 8

M = what?

5. solve using the multiplication principles

- 5x < - 15

Answer 1

1) it must be gradient of the mountain

it means if one travela a horizontal distance of 1 unit how much distance he travels vertically (upwards or downwards)

in this case total horizontal distance is 15835 feet and vertical dist is (14890 - 8100) = 6790 feet.
