An airplane's altitude in feet during its descent can be found using the equation y=-150x + 30,500. After new government regulat
ions become law, the descent isnow modeled by the equation y=-150x + 30,000. Which statement describes this change? The airplane starts its descent from an altitude 500 feet lower.
The airplane descends 500 feet per horizontal mile slower.
The airplane descends 500 feet per horizontal mile faster.
The airplane starts its descent from an altitude of 500 feet.
Since we know that the board is 14 feet then to find the size of the second piece, we just take the full length of the board and then subtract it to the first piece's length.
