Problem

An airplane is flying at an altitude of 5000 ft in starseed sitting at a rate of 150 ft per minute what we'd altitude of the plane after 10 minutes

Solution

For this case we can define the following notation:

y= altitude

x= time in minutes

We can find the altitude at any time with the following formula:

y = 5000 - 150 x

And we can find the value for the altitude at x=10 we got:

y = 5000 -150(10) =3500 ft
