- The slope of the roof shown here is measured with a 12” level and a ruler. What is the slope of this roof?arrow_forwardA Ramp A ramp runs from the ground level to a building entrance that is 3 feet high and 12 feet from the base of the ramp. If we think of the base of the ramp as the origin and the building is located on the positive horizontal axis as shown in Figure 3.26), find the slope of the line representing the ramp.arrow_forwardSlope from Two Points Take west to be the positive direction. The height of a sloped roof above the place where you stand is 12 feet see Figure 3.28). If you move 3 feet west, the height is 10 feet. What is the slope?arrow_forward
