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.

Whenever there is no exponent on a variable,
you can give it an exponent of 1.
So we can rewrite the x's in this problem as x¹.
When we multiply two terms together
with like bases, we add their exponents.
So now just add their exponents to get x².
Answer:
We can get 15 (1/3 cup) servings with a 5 cup container
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we can easily divide 5 by (1/3) to find how many servings can be obtained
5 / (1/3)
= 5 / (0.3333)
= 15
This can be checked by adding together (1/3) fifteen times
(1/3) + (1/3)+ (1/3)+ (1/3)+ (1/3)+ (1/3)+ (1/3)+ (1/3)+ (1/3)+ (1/3)+ (1/3)+ (1/3)+ (1/3)+ (1/3)+ (1/3)
= 15/3 = 5
