Add class inline if ... (in 1 line)

ruby-on-rails ruby class if-statement link-to

I want to add a class to a link_to only if a statement is true.

<%= link_to product.name, product, :class => "last" if product == @products.last %>

The problem that the IF statement affects the whole line and not just the :class part.

I know i can get it done with IF ELSE, but is it possible to do it in 1 line ?
