This topic practices the fundamental skill of calculating the slope of various inclines, such as hills, ski jumps, and roofs. The primary focus is on understanding and applying the slope formula, presented as a ratio of rise over run. Participants are required to recognize how to calculate slope from graphical representations and choose the correct formula between options provided (either \(\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}\) or \(\frac{\text{run}}{\text{rise}}\)), demonstrating their grasp of the concept in real-world contexts.
