Two balloonists, Jim and Chris, are in separate balloons. Jim's balloon is 10 m above the ground and rising at 15 m per minute. Chris's balloon is at 30 m above the ground and rising at 10 m per minute. Write an equation in the form y=mx+b for each balloon's movement, where y is the height, in metres, and x is the time, in minutes.
