Question

an airplane begins to descend for a landing. the elevation g (in feet) of the airplane is modeled by the function: g(t)= 4800-300t, where t is the time (in minutes) since the airplane began to descend. what is the y- intercept?

Answer 1

Answer:

The y-intercept in this case is 4800

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line graph is ;

y = mx + c

with respect to the given equation in the question, the y-intercept in this case is 4,800

In this case the y-intercept represent the height from which the plane starts to descend
