To find the elevation level after 60 seconds of skiing, you need to substitute x = 60 into the equation y = -30x + 6000.
y = -30(60) + 6000
y = -1800 + 6000
y = 4200
Therefore, after 60 seconds of skiing, you will be 4,200 feet high.
The correct answer is B.
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)
