First find the line through (3, 30) and (6, 25).
Slope m = (25 − 30)/(6 − 3) = −5/3, so y = (−5/3)x + b.
Use (3,30): 30 = (−5/3)(3) + b → 30 = −5 + b → b = 35.
The drone is at a height of 35 feet when Leah's dad calls her in for lunch. The height of the drone decreases by 5/3 feet per minute (about 1 2/3 ft/min) on its way to the ground.
