It reduces the force needed to move the load up. Just think of it, it takes less force to push a cart with 100 kg of bricks on a slope or is it easier to lift it up directly to a height of 10m?

Why can you use the point-slope formula when writing an equation of a horizontal line but not with a vertical line?
A vertical line HAS NO slope! The slope is undefined in this case.
When is it good to use a slope formula?
When formatting the equation of a given line into slope-intercept form.
How can you use slope formula in math?
you use the slope formula y=mx+b to find the slope of the liner equation with the givin Coordinates and use the y's up method with that when you get your answer it should be in y=mx+b format. ex:y=3/2x+9
How do you ind the slope of a line?
To find the slope of a line, you take two points on the line, then use their X and Y coordinates in the following formula: slope = ( Y2 -Y1 ) / ( X2 - X1) By simplifying the answer, you will get your slope.
How do you use slope in a sentence?

How do you find slope intercept form when given coordinates?
Use: (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) to find the slope. Use: y -y1 = m(x -x1) to find the slope intercept equation whereas m is the slope.
Describe a situation in which point-slope form would be more useful than slope-intercept form?
You use point-slope form to find the equation of a line if you only have a point and a slope or if you are just given two point. Usually you will convert point-slope form to slope-intercept form to make it easier to use.
