slope=tan x=height/horizontal distance=6.5/19.53
slope=tan^-1 6.5/19.53=18*24' approx

You divide the rise by the horizontal lenght,
you obtain the tangent. The arc tangent will be the slope:
aprox 18* 24' 30"

formula for slope is rise/run so in this case, take 6.5 feet and divide it by 19.53ft and you get your answer... 0.333 (rounded to the nearest thousand)

m = rise/run
m = (6.5)/(19.53)
m = (650/1953)
m = 0.33
