Heath was climbing a mountain. 3 hours after he began climbing, he was at an altitude of 600 feet. After 5 hours, he is at an altitude of 900 feet.
Which equation shows the relationship between y, Heath’s altitude, and x, the number of hours he has been climbing?
Heath was climbing a mountain. 3 hours after he began climbing, he was at an altitude of 600 feet. After 5 hours, he is at an altitude of 900 feet.
Which equation shows the relationship between y, Heath’s altitude, and x, the number of hours he has been climbing?
y-600=300(x-3)
y-600=150(x-3)
y+600=300(x+3)
y+600=150(x+3)
1 answer
The correct equation is y-600=300(x-3). This equation represents the change in altitude (y-600) as a function of the number of hours climbing (x-3), with a rate of change of 300 feet per hour.
