Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula of slope is "rise over run", where the "rise" (means change in y, up or down) and the "run" (means change in x, left or right)

[tex]slope=\frac{rise}{run}[/tex]

so

In this problem we have

[tex]rise=30\ ft[/tex]

[tex]run=483\ ft[/tex]

substitute

[tex]slope=\frac{30}{483}[/tex]

simplify

[tex]slope=\frac{10}{161}[/tex]

or

[tex]slope=0.0621[/tex]

Convert to percentage

[tex]slope=0.0621*100=6.21\%[/tex]
