Slope is 'rise over run', that is rise divided by run. In this case, that's 12 divided by 6, which equals 2.

What facts are needed to indicate the average slope between two points on a topographic map?

Slope is determined by rise and run. Or the distance between two points, the distance in height (vertical distance) and the lateral distance apart (level distance). If a step has a riser of 6" and a tread of 12", the rise (6") over the run (12") would then become 6/12 or a slope of 45 degrees. 12/12 would be vertical and 0/12 would be horizontal. From horizontal to vertical is 90 degrees. So 6/12 is one half, of 90degrees which is 45 degrees.

What word describes the slope of the line passing through points (5 12) and (5 -13)?

It would be a undefined slope.There are four types of slope:Postive slope (when lines go uphill from left to right)Negative slope (when lines go downhill from left to right)Zero slope (when lines are horizontal)Undefined slope (when lines are vertical)

What is the minimum pitch requirement on a roof?

the pitch of a 7-12 roof slope meaning that for 12" of horizontal measurement (roof run) the vertical measurement (roof rise) is 7". Not totally sure but I believe the minimum to be about a 3-7 inch pitch 3 inch roof rise per 7 feet of horizontal measurement


How does the impression made by a line graph change when you make the horizontal scale shorter but keep the virtical scale the same?

Best Answer:The impression made by aline graph change when you make the horizontal scale shorter but keep the vertical scale is that the new line will be much steeper than the original!!Votes:12

Determine the slope of a line that passes through the points 12 5 and 6 7?

Slope = [change in y] / [change in x] = [5 - 7] / [12 - 6] = -2 / 6 = -1/3
