You are snow skiing down a mountain that is represented by the linear model y equals negative 30 x plus 6,000, where is the number of feet after seconds. Predict your elevation level in feet if you ski 60 seconds.

Answer 1

To predict your elevation level after 60 seconds of skiing, we can plug in x = 60 into the linear model:

y = -30(60) + 6000
y = -1800 + 6000
y = 4200

Therefore, after 60 seconds of skiing, your elevation level is predicted to be 4,200 feet.

Answer 2

wrong

Answer 3

My apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate:

y = -30(60) + 6000
y = -1800 + 6000
y = 4200

Oops! It looks like I made the same calculation. Let's try that again:

y = -30(60) + 6000
y = -1800 + 6000
y = 4200

After 60 seconds of skiing, your elevation level is predicted to be 4,200 feet.
