When the airplane is 100 miles west of its destination, its altitude is 14,000 feet. If the airplane's descent is modeled by a linear function, where will the airplane be in relation to the runway when it hits ground level? (to the nearest whole number)
A) airplane will over shoot the runway by 32 miles
B) airplane will over shoot the runway by 61 miles
C) airplane will land short of the runway by 61 miles
D) airplane will land short of the runway by 32 miles,,

Answer 1

C is the answer I believe

Answer 2
