Question 1164075: Find the Slope of the roof
A house is shown with a roof that slants up and right, changes direction at the center of the house, and slants down and right. The vertical height of the roof is labeled 9 ft. The horizontal distance of the roof is labeled 72 ft.

Not clear. One could only guess.

Horizontal distance of 72 feet is what? until just the peak of the roof, or between one end and where the peak projects to?

Vertical height of roof 9 feet is what? From floor ground to the peak of the roof? From ground floor to the bottom level of the roof?

Figure out the ones you have or the way you have what are given to you. Slope is vertical change divided by horizontal change.
