Answer:
y=(1)/(30)x+1

Explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:


y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

You need to find slope of the line with the formula:


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Pick to points of the given line. You can choose the point (60,3) and the point (30,2).

Then, substituting into the formula:


m=(2-3)/(30-60)=(1)/(30)

You can observe in the graph that the line intercepts the y-axis at the point (0,1), therefore "b" is:


b=1

Substituting the slope and the y-intercept found into
y=mx+b, you get the equation of this line:


y=(1)/(30)x+1

Where "y" represents the Height (1,000 ft) and "x" represents the Time in seconds.
