Question

A balloon begins descending at a rate of 25ft/min from an elevation of 2200ft. Write and graph equation

Answer 1

y=-25x+2200

hope this helps

Answer 2

The balloon starts at an elevation of 2200 ft.

The balloon starts descending at a rate of 25 ft per minute.

Note that the equation you will use is: y = mx + b, in which x = # of minutes, and y = height, 25 =descent rate, and 2200 is the total starting point.

2200 - 25x = y
