Chapter 2, Problem 123(choose chapter or problem)
Access Ramp A wooden access ramp is being built to reach a platform that sits 30 inches above the floor. The ramp drops 2 inches for every 25-inch run. (a) Write a linear equation that relates the height y of the ramp above the floor to the horizontal distance x from the platform. (b) Find and interpret the x-intercept of the graph of your equation. (c) Design requirements stipulate that the maximum run be 30 feet and that the maximum slope be a drop of 1 inch for each 12 inches of run. Will this ramp meet the requirements? Explain. (d) What slopes could be used to obtain the 30-inch rise and still meet design requirements? Source: www.adaptiveaccess.com/wood_ramps.php
