Questions on Introduction to the graph (pending)?

The ascent of the mountain Dooley, Oregon part of the Elkhorn Classic begins at 3,500 feet and climbs to 5400 feet at a horizontal distance of 37,000 feet What is the grade of the road? qualify it as a higher rates if it were part of the Tour de France?

slope is rise and run (rise over run) or change and the change in x. We have to figure out what the increase or and change. We do this by subtracting 3500 from 1900 to 5400-3500 = 5400 = 1900 m increase tells us that the race or the change in x is 37,000 feet so our inclination, or grade = 1900/37000 = 0.051 which is 5.1% in the grade of the road is 5.1% and it would qualify as a climb if it were part of the Tour de France
