1. A parachutist is 800 feet above the ground when she opens her parachute. She then falls at a constant rate of 5 feet per second. Select the equation that represents this situation.

h = -800t + 5

y = -5x + 800

h = 5t - 800

y = 800x + 5

Answer:

y = -5x + 800 where x is the time in seconds and y the height of the parachutist in feet.
