Respuesta :
I'm assuming that the pitch of this roof is in fact its slope...
Slopes are basically tangents...
tan(x)=Opposite/Adjacent
-------
tan(x)=9/7
-------
This means that the answer is D), 9/7.

Answer:
D. [tex]\frac{9}{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that the pitch of a roof that has a height of 9 ft and a horizontal run of 7.
We know that slope of a line represents the relation between rise over run. The run is the horizontal distance between to x-coordinates and rise is vertical distance between two y-coordinates.
[tex]\text{Slope}=\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Slope}=\frac{9}{7}[/tex]
Therefore, the pitch of roof is [tex]\frac{9}{7}[/tex] and option D is the correct choice.
