WARM UP

DP is conducting an experiment using a wheelchair and

ramps of various heights. DP measured the distance y in
feet the wheelchair can travel from the end of the ramp
and the height, x feet, of the ramp. DP found that when
the height was 20 ft, the wheelchair traveled 70 ft. When
the ramp height was 25 ft, the wheelchair traveled 117 ft.

a. Write 2 points?

b. What is the slope of the ramp?

c. What is the equation in Standard Form (select one).
