Question 61063: An airplane covered 25 miles of its route while decreasing its altitude by 19,000 feet. Find the slope of the airplane's line of descent. Round to the nearest hundredth. [Hint: 1 mi = 5280 feet.] Answer by funmath(2933) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! An airplane covered 25 miles of its route while decreasing its altitude by 19,000 feet. Find the slope of the airplane's line of descent. Round to the nearest hundredth. [Hint: 1 mi = 5280 feet.]
The plane covered horizontally.
Slope=rise/run or vertical/horizontal
slope=-19,000/132,000=-.14393939...=-.14
Happy Calculating!!!
