Question

An eagle is flying at the height of 275 feet and climbing at a rate of 65 feet per second.the equation for the height of the bird y is y=275+65x, where x is the number of seconds in flight. what do the slope and y intercept represent?

I need help like I've been on this answer for about 20 minutes so if any one could explain/give the answer that would be great thanks.!

Answer 1

The slope is 65 feet because it is the rate at which the eagle is going up, that means the y-intercept would be 275 feet since it is the height the eagle is flying at.
