Question

Jasmine is sliding down a 40-foot water park slide. The equation h = 40 − 2.5t gives her height, h, above the bottom of the slide t seconds after shoving off. How high above the bottom of the slide will Jasmine be after 8 seconds?

Answer 1

20 feet
We know the time is 8 seconds so since it’s 2.5t and t is 8 do 8x2.5 and you will get 20 so now we now 2.5t is 20 but they want the height and so you plug it into the equation h=40-20 and so h is 20
