The linear function that describes Juan's elevation during his descent is:

B. y = -1460x + 7500.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

In this problem, each hour, the height decays by 1460, hence the slope is of m = -1460, then:

y = -1460x + b.

The y-intercept is found considering that when x = 1, y = 6040, hence:

b = 6040 + 1460 = 7500.

Which means that option B is correct.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

y = -4/3 x - 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -4/3 x + b

5 = -4/3 (-4) + b

15 = 16 + 3b

b = -1/3

y = -4/3 x - 1/3
