Slope of track

Calculate the average slope (in permille and even in degrees) of the rail tracks between Prievidza (309 m AMSL) and Nitrianske Pravno (354 m AMSL) if the track is 11 km long.

Correct answer:

s1 =  4.09
s2 =  0.2344 °

Step-by-step explanation:

s=11 km m=11 1000  m=11000 m y=309354=45 m  x=s2y2=110002452=235 2191 m10999.908 m  s1=1000 xy=1000 10999.90845=4.09 
s2=π180°arctan(xy)=π180°arctan(10999.90845)=0.2344=0°144"
