A ramp used to remove furniture from a moving truck has a slope of 2/5.

The height of the ramp is 4 feet. How far does the base of the ramp extend from the end of the truck?

you would graph the slope and you'd find the length of the base. you'd use the equation y=2/5x+4 
the base would be 10
hope this helps

Answer:

The base of the ramp extend from the end of the truck by 10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Slope of the ramp , [tex]m=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Height of the ramp , y= 4 feet

Thus the distance between the base of the ramp and end of the truck is given by [tex]x=\frac{y}{slope}[/tex]

=>[tex]x=\frac{4\times 5}{2}feet=10feet[/tex]

Thus the base of the ramp extend from the end of the truck by 10 feet
