You are snow skiing down a mountain that is represented by the linear model y=–30x+6,000 , where y is the number of feet after x seconds. Predict your elevation level in feet if you ski 60 seconds. (1 point)

Answer 1

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

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

So, if you ski for 60 seconds, your elevation level will be at 4200 feet.
