Question

A ballon is released from the top of a platform that is 50 meters tall. The ballon rises at the rate of 4 meters per second. Write an equation in slope- intercept form that tells the height of the ballon above the ground after a given number of seconds.

Answer 1

y=4x+50. X is the amount of seconds times the 4 meter per second. 50 is the initial height and y is the height after the initial height is added and the amount of seconds is put into the equation
