Question
The surface of the Grand Lake is at an elevation of 648 feet. During the current drought, the water level is dropping at a rate of 3 inches per day. If this trend continues, write an equation that gives the elevation in feet of the surface of Grand Lake after x days.
I am confused.
I came up with y=3x + 648
Is this right?

new height = original elevation - ((drop per day/12) * number of days)
(we divide by 12 to get the result in feet)
new height = 648 feet - ((3 inches per day/12) * number of days)

did you get it?
Yes I got it now. Thanks so much for the help.
y = (-1/4)x + 648
