Answer:
[tex]m=\frac{1}{30}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
To find out the slope divide the rise by the run to calculate the slope.
Remember that
1 ft=12 in
Let
y ----> the rise
x ----> the run
m ----> the slope
[tex]m=\frac{y}{x}[/tex]
we have
[tex]y=2/5\ in[/tex]
[tex]x=1\ ft=12\ in[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{y}{x}[/tex]
substitute the values
[tex]m=\frac{(2/5)}{12}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{2}{60}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]m=\frac{1}{30}[/tex]
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Alright, lets get started.
As per given question, pipe is [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] inches down per feet.
1 feet = 12 inches[/tex]
Means [tex]y=\frac{2}{5}[/tex] inches
[tex]x=12[/tex]inches
So the slope will be : [tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex]
Hence slope = [tex]\frac{\frac{2}{5} }{12}[/tex]
slope = [tex]\frac{2}{12*5}[/tex]
slope = [tex]\frac{2}{60}[/tex]
slope = [tex]\frac{1}{30}[/tex] : hence the answer is [tex]\frac{1}{30}[/tex] : Answer
