At the curb a ramp is 11 inches off the ground. The other end of the ramp rests on the street 55 inches straight out from the curb. Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form that relates the height y of the ramp to the distance x from the curb.

y = 5x + 11

y = - 1/5x + 11

y = - 1/5x + 55

y = 1/5x + 55

    Slope of the ramp=y/x

    =11/55

    =1/5

    General equation;

    y=mx+c

    y=1/5x+c

    Replacing for x and y;

    11=1/5*55+c

    c=0

    The equation then should be;

    y=1/5x
