The function relating in indira‘s height to the number of hours she mountain climbing is: y = -36.5x + 182.5
A linear equation is given by:
y = mx + b;
where m is the slope(rate of change), b is the initial value of y, y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable.
Let x represent the number of hours spent climbing the mountain and y represent the distance above see level.
She starts at 182.5 meters above sea level, hence; b = 182.5 meters
She descends 36.5 meters each hour, hence m = -36.5 meter per hour
Therefore the equation becomes:
y = -36.5x + 182.5
