Question

1. HIKING Tim began a hike near Big Bear Lake,

California at the base of the mountain that is 7000 feet
above sea level. He is hiking at a steady rate of 5 more
feet above sea level per minute. Let A be his altitude
above sea level in feet and let t be the number of
minutes he has been hiking. Write an equation in
slope-intercept form that represents how many feet
above sea level Tim has hiked.​

Answer 1

A = 5*t

Step-by-step explanation:

If

A is the altitude above sea level in feet

m = +5 feet/min is the slope

t is the number of minutes he has been hiking

then, we can use the equation of a line as follows

A = 5*t
