Question

how do i simply slopes

Answer 1

Answer:

If you set the rise over the run,you get a faction that describes the slope.Something this faction can be further simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor. This is the highest number that will divide evenly into both terms.

Answer 2

Just the same as simplifying fractions.

For example, let’s say your slope is 50/100. Now you think to yourself, what number can be divided into 50 AND 100? The answer is 50; It can be decided into the numerator and denominator. Once you divide it, you’ve basically simplified it. 50/50=1 and 50/100 is 2. The answer would be 1/2 from both your answers.
