The linear function that describes Juan's elevation during his descent is:
B. y = -1460x + 7500.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
In this problem, each hour, the height decays by 1460, hence the slope is of m = -1460, then:
y = -1460x + b.
The y-intercept is found considering that when x = 1, y = 6040, hence:
b = 6040 + 1460 = 7500.
Which means that option B is correct.

Use photo math , that will help a lot!!
So we have to simplify this equation:
4x+5-10+3x=57
Add like terms:
7x-5=57
Then add 5 to both sides:
7x=62
x=62/7
3x - 2 when X = 2
= 3(2) - 2
= 6 - 2
= 4
So, in conclusion, the answer to this question is 4.
