Mr. Mole and Bugs Bunny started digging their way into the ground from different locations at the same time. They each dug at a constant rate.
The following equation gives Mr. Mole's altitude (in meters relative to the ground) as a function of time (in minutes). A = -4-0.6t
Bugs Bunny's altitude (in meters relative to the ground) as a function of time (in minutes) is given by the following table of values:
Time (Minutes) Altitude (Meters)
2 -1.6
9 -7.2
16 -12.8
