Problema Solution

at the eastern side to the elevation is 771ft. at the western edge, 413 miles across the state, the elevation is 4039ft. what is the approximate slope of kanas

Answer provided by our tutors

Slope = (Change in y or height) / (Change in x or length or distance horizontal)

4039 - 771 Gives you change in y

413 is your x

Therefore

Slope = (4039 - 771) / 413 mi

Slope = 3,268/413 miles

Slope is approximately 7.9 miles
