Hello, I'm an adult learner taking a Beginning Algebra class at a community college.
I have a question about this word problem:
The longest run at Ski Dubai, an indoor ski resort in the Middle East, has a vertical drop of about 60 m with a horizontal distance of about 395 m. What is the slope of this ski run?
My answer is:
-60 =
395
-12
79
But the book says the answer is:
79
12
What gives?
