Question 105485
An airplane covered 14 miles of its route while decreasing its altitude by 13,000 feet.  Find the slope of the airplane's line of descent.  Round to the nearest hundredth.  [Hint: 1 mi = 5280 feet.]
{{{slope=rise/run}}}
14*5280=73920
{{{slope=13000/73920}}}
slope=.18
since it is decreasing it would be negative
-.18
