Question

wilbur landed his plane causing it to descend at a rate of 0.2 kilometers per minute he reaches the grounded after 15 minutes. graph the planes elevation relative to the ground on kilometers as a function of time in minutes

Answer 1

The first dot should be on (10,1) and the second on (15,0)

Explanation:

15 + 1,0-0.2 = 16,-0.2

5 x 0.2 = 1

15 - 5,0 + 1 = 10,1

Answer 2

If the plane descends at the rate of 0.2 km per minute and landed after 15 minutes, that means the plane started at 3 km elevation when it started to descend (t=0). The table is then constructed using this initial values.

Based on the table, the graph is constructed (also attached).
