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.


What slope does vertical line have?

A vertical line has a slope of infinity.


Slope of a vertical line?

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


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 are slope lines?

They are lines that are not horizontal nor vertical.


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


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.


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".


Does a vertical line has no slope?

yes it has no slope


A vertical line has a run which is?

run as in slope of a line is zero . horizontal lines have no slope and vertical lines have a slope of zero
