MOUNTAIN BIKING
For Exercises 12–14, use the following information.
A certain mountain bike trail has a section of trail with a grade of 8%.
12. What is the slope of the hill?
13. After riding on the trail, a biker is 120 meters below her original starting
position. If her starting position is represented by the origin on a coordinate
plane, what are the possible coordinates of her current position?
14. How far has she traveled down the hill? Round to the nearest meter.
