SIOPey Mountain project
Tasks involving slope and Linear Equations
Welcome to Slopey Mountain! A new sk/snowboard resort in Algebraville, TN
The resort will be open in one week! Before they can open, they need your
help ranking the ski runs on a scale from easy to hard. On the next page you
will see the criteria they will use for ranking the ski slopes.

Calculate the slope of each run on the mountain above. (Let's consider all the slope's
negative, since at the top of the mountain, the skiers/snowboarders will always be
travelling downhill). After finding the slope, rank it as easy, intermediate, or hard.
