How far was Zane from the edge of the volcano when he started climbing?

Hope this helps

accoding to the web "He started out 25 meters below the edge of the volcano. It takes him 6.25 seconds to reach the edge."

25 meters below the edge; 6.25 seconds  

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent this with a linear function in slope-intercept form.  

We know the rate of change is 4 since he climbs up at 4 meters per second.  We do not know the value of b, the y-intercept.  

This gives us  

y = 4x + b  

We know that he is 13 meters below the edge after 3 seconds.  Using -13 for y and 3 for x,  

-13 = 4(3) + b  

-13 = 12 + b  

Subtract 12 from each side:  

-13-12 = 12+b-12  

-25 = b  

This gives us the equation  

y = 4x - 25  

He started out 25 meters below the edge of the volcano.  

To find how long it took him to reach the edge, substitute 0 in for y:  

0 = 4x - 25  

Add 25 to each side:  

0+25 = 4x-25+25  

25 = 4x  

Divide both sides by 4:  

25/4 = 4x/4  

6.25 = x  

It takes him 6.25 seconds to reach the edge.

i would say c is the best answer, hope it's right!

good luck! =)
