Question

Mr. Mole left his burrow that lies 7 meters below the ground and started digging his way deeper into the

ground, descending at a constant rate. After 6 minutes, he was 16 meters below the ground.
Let y represent Mr. Mole's altitude (in meters) relative to the ground after 3 minutes.
Complete the equation for the relationship between the altitude and number of minutes.
y =

Answer 1

it would be 34

Explanation:

Answer 2

y= -1.5x-7

Explanation:

y= -16 (total amount of meters below ground)

m= -1.5 (slope; meters he descends per minute)

x= 6 (minutes)

b= -7 (starting point)

thus; y= -1.5x-7

because; -16=(-1.5)(6)-7

note; remember, they are descending so most of your values will be negative
