We know that

• Mt. Everest height was 8,850 meters in 1999. This is the initial condition.

,

• The rate is 5cm per year or 0.05 m per year.

Based on the given information, we express the following equation.


y=0.05x+8850

Where x is years and y is height in meters,

Now, in year 0, x = 0.


\begin{gathered} y=0.05(0)+8850 \\ y=8850 \end{gathered}

Therefore, Mt. Everest height in year zero is 8,850 meters.
