How do you identify the slope of the line that that would be parallel to the given line y5-3x?
Calculate the slope of the given line. Any line parallel to it will have the same slope.
What is an average slope on a topographic map?
The average slope is the ratio of the change between two points
Why topographic maps are so important?
They show elevation and slope.
How do you calculate the slope between two points?
The slope is calculated as: y1-y2/x1-x2 given two sets of points
What kind of slope does close contour lines on a topographic map show?
elevation. the closer the lines the steeper the slope.
How do you calculate slope of 5-4 -21?
I am not sure what you mean; I guess some symbols disappeared when posting the question. I assume you have two given points. The idea is to calculate the slope as: slope = (difference in y-coordinates) / (difference in x-coordinates)
How do the contour lines on a topographic map indicate the slope of land?
If the contour lines are far apart, then that indicates the land has a gentle slope (low slope).
What On a topographic map contour lines that are close together indicate a .?
Contour lines that are close together on a topographic map indicate an area of steep slope. If they essentially overlap you have a cliff.
On a topographic map contour lines that are closer together indicate?
On a topographic map, contour lines that are closer together indicate a steeper slope.
How can you determine whether the contours on a topographic map show a gradual slope?
If the topographic lines are closer together it means that it has a steeper slope grade, if they are farther apart, it means that they have a more relaxed slope grade. There is usually a scale on the map that can tell you in exact measurements of the slope.
What symbols on a topographic map show elevation relief and slope?
contour lines
How do you calculate the pitch of a helix from a given helical slope?
The slope is the pitch divided by the developed circumference of the helix which is pi x diameter. Pitch = pi x diamter x slope
