Question 274747: I need help solving this problem.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?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The ramp with the least slope (2) , rises two for each horizontal unit.\,
whereas, ramp 2, rises 3 for each horizontal unit
