Time (min) 0 1 2 3
Pilar’s height (ft) 242 234 226 218

What is the equation for Pilar?

a. y= -8x + 242
b. y= 8x + 242
c. y= -8x
d. y= 242x

Respuesta :

Answer: The answer would be A

Step-by-step explanation: Since at 0 min the height is 242 ft, the y intercept would be 242. And since it gradually decreases the height for each minute, the slope would have to be negative. A is the only answer that match both of these statements having 242 as it's y-intercept is 242 and has a negative slope
