Ahot air balloon is at a height of 2,250 feet. it descends 150 ft each minute. find its high after 6, 8, and 10 minutes

So for this, since the rate is linear we will be using the slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b (m = slope/rate of change, b = y-intercept)

Since the rate of change "descends 150 ft per min", the m variable is -150.

The y-intercept is, in this case, the height of the balloon at 0 mins, or the starting height. Since the balloon "is at a height of 2250 ft", the b variable is 2250.

Putting our equation together, its y = -150x + 2250.

Since time is our independent variable, plug in 6, 8, and 10 mins into the x variable to solve for their heights:

In context, after 6 minutes the balloon is at 1,350 ft, after 8 minutes the balloon is at 1,050 ft, and after 10 minutes the balloon is at 750 ft.
