Answer:

-30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

The rollercoaster first rose 210 feet, so after rise 1, the height is +210 feet.

After that, it dropped 240 feet. This is greater than the 210 feet it initially rose, so the number is now negative. The height is now -30 feet.

210 - 240 = -|240-210| = -|30| = -30 feet

After that, it rose another 80 feet. That outdoes the eariler -30 feet, so we're back to a positive height. After that rise, the height is now +50 feet.

-30 + 80 = |80 - 30| = |50| = 50 feet

Then the last two drops combine for a 80-foot drop. This is greater than the +50-foot height it was at, so we're back at -30 feet.

50 - 80 -|80 - 50| = -|30| = -30 feet after the last drop

Answer:

  y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is ...

  m = (7 -7)/(0 -4) = 0

The y-intercept is the point (0, 7), so the slope-intercept equation is ...

  y = mx +b

  y = 0·x +7

Simplifying this puts it in standard form:

  y = 7
