You are parachuting. at time t equals zero seconds, you open your parachute at height h equals 2500 feet above the ground. at time t equals 35 seconds, your height h equals 2115 feet. write the equation to represent the situation.

You start at 2500 feet above ground. then, your drop after 35 seconds equals to 2500-2115=385 feet. now, we have to calculate the rate, in feet per second, at which you drop. that would be 385/35=11 feet per second. therefore, our equation is h=2500-11t, assuming that t is the number of seconds.
