A man is climbing down from 100 feet high descending 30 feet per minute.

• y = - 30x + 100

• y = 100 + 30x

• y = 100x + 30

• y = 100x - 30

A man is climbing down from 100 feet high descending 30 feet per minute.

• y = 100 - 30x

• y = 100 + 30x

• y = 100x + 30

• y = 100x - 30

A man on top of a mountain 100 feet high, was going down the tree, descending 30 feet per minute.

Write a linear equation for the height y at any time x.

• y = -30x + 100

• y = 30x + 100

• y = 100x + 30

• y = -100x + 30

Answer explanation

The equation y = -30x + 100 represents the man's height (y) as he descends 30 feet per minute (slope -30) from an initial height of 100 feet. The negative slope indicates a decrease in height.

Match the table to the equation

• y = -3x + 10

• y = 2x + 1

• y = 3x + 5

• y = -7x + 3
