Roger is a stunt person for film and television productions, and he specializes in bike stunts. He is building a bike ramp for a jump he will perform for an upcoming shoot.
Roger begins by building a ramp 30 feet back from the 12-foot high obstacle he must
clear at the end of the ramp. When the ramp is 8 feet long (horizontally), it has gained 2.5
feet of height.
a. Graph the slope of the ramp. Be sure to label your graph correctly. (3 marks)
C.
b. What is the slope of the ramp? (2 mark)
If Roger continues building the ramp at this same slope to a horizontal length of
30 feet, will he clear the obstacle? Show your work. (1 marks)
d. On the graph in part a), draw a dotted line showing the slope of a ramp which would
achieve a height of 12 feet at 30 feet of horizontal distance. What is the slope of this
ramp? (2 marks)
