Answer: The slope is 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, you need to find the difference between the y coordinates and divide it by the difference in the x coordinates.
The y coordinates are -4 and 5
The x coordinates are -4 and 2
-4 -5 = - 9
-4 - 2 = -6
-9/-6 = 3/2
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.

The formula to finding a discriminant would be b^2-4ac, the b value of this trinomial being -5, the a value being 2, the c value being 3. Then, you plug the values in the equation and solve: (-5)^2-4(2)(3)
This would simplify to 1, meaning there are two solutions since the discriminant value is positive. If it is 0, there is one solution, if it is negative, then there are no real solutions.
