Answer:

[tex]m = \frac{2}{5} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula:

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

Given:

Rise: 10

Run: 25

Replace with the given information, simplify after

[tex]m = \frac{10}{25} [/tex]

Divide numerator and denominator by 5

[tex] m = \frac{10 \div 5}{25 \div 5} [/tex]

Answer:

[tex]m = \frac{2}{5} ft[/tex]
