Answer:

F = -20h + 450

Explanation:

To find the linear function, we will use the coordinate points (1, 430) and (2, 410)

Get the slope;

m = ΔF/Δh = 410-430/2-1

m = -20/1

m = -20

Get the y intercept b

Substitute m = -20 and (1, 430) into y = mx+b

430 = -20(1) + b

430+20 = b

450 = b

Swap

b = 450

Get the required equation

y = -20x + 450

replace x with h and y with F

F = -20h + 450

Hence the required equation is F = -20h + 450
