Use this function to find your angle!
[inputrad]alpha=atan(a/b)[/inputrad]
atan(6/10) ****Why 6? Because 72in = 6foot.****
You'll have your answer...atan(6/10)
WHERE B is the opposite AND A is the adjacent.

The slope usually just means the gradient, so here that is 10/6 = 1.67 (approx)
This assumes that the phrase "distance between first and second floor" means vertical distance (b in samgelinas's picture.)
