A hot-air balloon at 1120 feet descends at a rate of 80 feet per minute. Let y represent the height of the balloon and let x represent the number of minutes the balloon descends. (a) Write an equation that relates the height of the hot-air balloon and the number of minutes it descends.

(b) What is the y-intercept of the graph?
(x, y) =

What does the y-intercept represent in the context of the problem?

- the distance the balloon traveled as it descends.
- initial height of the hot-air balloon.
- number of minutes it takes for the balloon to reach the ground.
- final height of the hot-air balloon.
- number of minutes the balloon began descending.

On traditional maps, earth is represented in a flat plane, or by euclidean geometry. however, a globe is a more accurate model that comes from elliptical geometry. how does a globe represent the fact that there are no parallel lines in elliptical geometry? the equator is not parallel to any other latitudinal lines. the north and south poles are never connected by a geodesic. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles never intersect. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles intersect at both of the poles.
