    slope = 40 / 70 = 4 / 7

    The slope is rise over run. So for every drop (40 ft), the run is 70 feet. Remember, drops are negative, so the slope is -40/70, which is -4/7 or -.5714

    -4/7. rise over run... the rise is negative so it's 40 and it runs 70. Simplify and it's -4/7

    Y/X = 40/70 = 0.571 or 57.14%
