Question

5. An airplane 30,000 feet above the ground begins to descend at a

rate of 2,000 feet per minute. Choose an equation to model this
situation.
A y = 30,000 – 2,000x
B
y = 30,000x - 2,000
Cy= 30,000 + 2,000x
D y = 30,000x + 2,000

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

If the airplane is 30,000 feet above the air and descends 2,000 feet it's going down 2,000 feet per minute and cause we don't know how many minutes he was going down we put that as x. and multiply 2,000 for what ever x is.
