Represent the relationship shown in the table using words, an equation, and a graph. Then determine whether the relationship is a linear function.

Mountain Climbing
Number of Hours Climbing, x Elevation (ft), y
0 1103
1 1202
2 1301
3 1400

Represent the relationship using words. Choose the correct answer below.

A. Starting from a height of 1103 ft, you lose 99 ft each additional hour of climbing. B. Starting from a height of 99 ft, you gain 1103 ft each additional hour of climbing. OC. Starting from a height of 1103 ft, you gain 99 ft each additional hour of climbing. OD. Starting from a height of 99 ft, you lose 1103 ft each additional hour of climbing.

Represent the relationship using an equation. y = ___ (Simplify your answer. Type an expression using x as the variable .)

1 answer

The relationship can be represented using words as: Starting from a height of 1103 ft, you gain 99 ft each additional hour of climbing.

The relationship can be represented using an equation as: y = 1103 + 99x

The relationship is a linear function because the elevation increases by a constant rate (99 ft) for each additional hour of climbing, which corresponds to a linear relationship on a graph.
