Answer:

The pitch (slope) of the roof is [tex]0.25[/tex]   or [tex]25\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope  is equal to

[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

where

[tex]{y2-y1}=2.5\ m[/tex]  -----> is the vertical distance (rise)

[tex]{x2-x1}=10\ m[/tex]  -----> is the horizontal distance (run)

therefore

[tex]m=\frac{2.5}{10}=0.25[/tex]

convert to percentage

[tex]0.25*100=25\%[/tex]
