Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the number of minutes
y ----> the balloon's height in feet
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to
where
m is the slope
b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept
In this problem we have that
The slope is equal to
----> is negative because is a decreasing function
Remember that the y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero
In this context the y-intercept is the height of the balloon when the time is equal to zero (initial height)
substitute
