A 120 meter long ski lift carries skiers from 40 m above. What is the IMA of the lift

The ideal mechanical advantage of a slope is given by the ratio between the output load, which is simply the weight of the object (), and the input force  applied to move the object along the slope:

The energy conservation law states that the potential energy of the object when it reaches the final height h is equal to the work done to move the object along the distance of the slope , i.e.

From this we find

Therefore, we can substitute this into the formula of the ideal mechanical advantage and calculate its value:

Please said thanks

Is student B because student B data has -2 which is facing the same way the scatter plot is while student A is facing the left while the scatter plot is on the right.

If you don't understand go to desmos graphing calculator and enter y=−2x+24 and y=1.5x+23.
