Using a linear function and applying the concept of the x-intercept, it is found that the correct option is:
- (18, 0); the time it takes for the helicopter to reach the ground
---------------------
A linear function has the following format:

In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.
In this problem:
- The initial height is of 18 feet, thus
.
- After 2 seconds, the height is 16 feet, that is, in 2 seconds the height decayed 2 feet, thus

The function for the <u>height after x seconds</u> is:

The x-intercept is the value of x when y = 0, that is, the time it takes for the helicopter to reach the ground. Then:



Thus, point (18,0), and the correct option is:
(18, 0); the time it takes for the helicopter to reach the ground
