Question

First balloon: y = -20x+800

second balloon: y = -20x+1200

how do the descent and landing time of the second balloon compare with that of the first first balloon? what does this mean graphically

Answer 1

Hello, it's me again!

Explanation:

I'm sure you recall from your last question how to get landing times, so for the first question, it is 40, second question is 60

The second balloon takes longer to land.

Graphically, this means that the line made by the 2 balloons will be parallel, the second balloon starting 400 units on the y axis above the first balloon, and continue an extra 20 units on the x axis after the first balloon reaches y= zero

Hope this helps!
