The angle of depression is equal to the angle of elevation, so use the sine ratio to find the angle.

sine = opposite (the vertical drop) divided by the hypotenuse (the ski slope)

sine = 100/250 = 2/5 or 0.4

sine-1(0.4) = 23.57817848 degrees which is about 24 degrees

What does slope determine?

Slope is the angle compared with the horizontal, where the horizontal is 90° to the vertical, which can be measured with a plumb line. So, put a weight on a string, measure the angle of the string to the angle you are measuring, subtract 90° and that will give you the slope.


Slope of a vertical line?

The slope of a vertical line is undefined. Horizontal slope is 0.


What slope does vertical line have?

A vertical line has a slope of infinity.


What are slope lines?

They are lines that are not horizontal nor vertical.


What kind of slope does a vertical line have?

a vertical line has an undefined slope, while a horizontal slope has a slope of zero.


What is the slope of all vertical lines?

The slope of a vertical line is not defined.


Is an undefined slope a vertical or horizontal line?

An undefined slope is vertical.


Which has a greater slope a horizontal or vertical line?

Vertical. Te horizontal like has zero slope ( no slope) and the vertical line has infinite (very very high) slope


The ratio of the vertical distance to the horizontal distance?

The ratio of the vertical distance to the horizontal distance is sometimes colloquially phrased as "rise over run"; the numerically calculated value is called "slope". Mathematically, slope can be thought of as the tangent (function) of the "angle of elevation".


What is the difference between a line with a slope of zero and no slope?

A line with slope of zero is horizontal. A line with no slope is vertical because slope is undefined on a vertical line.


How do you find the slope in 22 and 66?

if the slope is 1 in 22, draw horizontal line 22 long, then vertical line 1 high, hypotonuse is slope, angle of slope is (INV tan ( 1 / 22)) . same deal for 1 in 66, 66 along then 1 up, angle is (INV tan ( 1 / 66))


What is the advantage of an incline plane?

MA of inclined plane:Distance moved parallel to slope / vertical distance moved:Reciprocal of sin of incline angle (from horizontal):1 / ( sin ( incline angle ) )
