Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a ramp (or anything else) is the ratio of its "rise" to its "run."

The rise is the vertical change. Here, that is shown as 3 m.

The run is the horizontal change. Here, that is shown as 36 m.

Then the slope is ...

Additional comment

If this were a line on a graph, the slope would be calculated the same way. When the rise is positive to the right, the slope is positive. On a graph, if the rise is negative as you go to the right, the slope is negative.

=====================================

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer

a. the residual plot for model 1 has a random pattern and is a good fit for the data.
