69. a)\dfrac{1}{3} b) 4 12 pitch or 4-in-12 pitch 71. \dfrac{3}{50}; rise = 3, run = 50
73. a) 288 inches (24 feet) b) Models will vary. 75. When the slope is a positive number the line goes up from left to right. When the slope is a negative number the line goes down from left to right.
77. A vertical line has 0 run and since division by 0 is undefined the slope is undefined.
