Question

A function h(t) decreases by 8 over every unit interval in t and h(0)=-5. Which could be a function rule for h(t)? h(t)=-8*5^(t) h(t)=8t-5 h(t)=-8t-5 h(t)=-(t)/(8)-5

Answer 1

h(t) = -8t - 5

Explanation:

Since h(t) decreases 8 units for each unit interval in t, the slope is -8.

At t = 0, h(t) = -5, so the y-intercept is -5.

y = mx + b

h(t) = -8t - 5
