Question

A roller coaster moves along an inclined linear path before it reaches its maximum height . The car moves at a constant speed and gains 4 metes in height every 3 seconds . The slope of the line that represents the height of the car in meters in terms of seconds is

Answer 1

slope: rise/run

rise 4 meters
run 3 seconds

slope = 4/3

Answer 2

Answer:

A roller coaster moves along an inclined linear path before it reaches its maximum height. The car moves at a constant speed and gains 4 meters in height every 3 seconds.

The slope of the line that represents the height of the car in meters in terms of time in seconds is 4/3 If the car takes 54 seconds to reach the maximum height, then the maximum height above the ground is 72 meters.
