Answer:
Slope, m = 1100
y-intercept,c = 2491
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
The above gives the altitude of the airplane above the sea level in feet(y) after x minutes since the take off.
Comparing the above equation, to a general linear equation, we have,
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.
Comparing we get,
Slope, m = 1100
y-intercept,c = 2491
Interpretation:
- The slope of equation tells us about the rate of change of function with unit increase in value of x. Thus, the altitude of airplane increases 1100 feet when the time increases by 1 minute.
- The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0. Thus, the altitude of airplane is 2491 feet when the airplane has not taken off.
