Question
You are sliding a big cabinet down a truck ramp for a customer. You must maintain control of the cabinet because it is very heavy. There are 2 ramps in the building.
The equation of ramp 1 is y = 2x + 7 and the equation of ramp 2 is y = 3 x + 7. Which is the safest ramp to slide the cabinet down without losing control and why?
The coefficent of x is slope. I would slide down the least slope.
Thanks but which one would that be and why?
compare 2x and 3x. WHich is least slope, 2 or 3?
2,so is that the answer?the one that says:y=2x+7
