You just have to substitute values of slope and vertical distance in formula and get value of horizontal distance. Similarly, any one of them can be found if other two are given. For instance, if you have a slope given in Percentage as 10 % and a vertical distance of 50 feet, then equation will look like:
Vertical Stretches. To stretch a graph vertically, place a coefficient in front of the function. This coefficient is the amplitude of the function. For example, the amplitude of y = f (x) = sin(x) is one. The amplitude of y = f (x) = 3 sin(x) is three. Compare the two graphs below. The amplitude of the graph of any periodic function is one-half the absolute value of the sum of the maximum and minimum values of the function. Figure %: The sine curve is stretched vertically when multiplied by a coefficient.
