After 60 seconds of skiing, you will be 6,030 feet high.

After 60 seconds of skiing, you will be 4,200 feet high

Answer 1

To predict your elevation level in feet after skiing for 60 seconds, we can substitute \( x = 60 \) into the linear model \( y = -30x + 6,000 \).

Let's calculate it:

\[ y = -30(60) + 6,000 \]

Calculating the first part:

\[ -30(60) = -1800 \]

Now substituting back into the equation:

\[ y = -1800 + 6,000 = 4,200 \]

So, after 60 seconds of skiing, you will be 4,200 feet high.
