Bridgette -Slope is the change in y divided by the change in x or in this word problem it is the change in the height divided by the change in the horizontal distance.Since the height is "dropping", the slope must be negative.  They give you the rest of the information:change in height = 9change in horizontal distance = 124Now just use the formula for slope given above.Hope that helps
