Question

A cable car begins its trip by moving up a hill. As it moves up, it gains elevation at a constant rate of 50 feet/minute until it reaches the peak at 2,000 feet. Then, as the car moves down to the hill’s base, its elevation drops at the same rate.

Answer 1

Answer:

t=40min

Step-by-step explanation:

speed is ratio of distance to time.

S=distance/time

50ft/min=2000/t

t=2000/50

t=40min

y=mx+c

y=50x+c

m=50ft/min gradient of the graph

the equation that satisfy the problem

Answer 2

Answer:

the rate is 40 min.

Step-by-step explanation:

50 times 1 is 50 and 2000 divided by 50 is 40 which gives you 40 min.
