Question 1
1.

Solve It! The red line shows the altitude of a hot-air balloon during its linear descent. What is an equation of the line in slope-intercept form? Hint: What is the altitude of the balloon when it starts its descent at x = 0?

Recall: The general equation used to represent slope-intercept form is:
This format is named slope-intercept form because the equation reveals the slope, m, and y-intercept, b.
