A helicopter is planning a route in a straight line from the top of Mount Whitney to Death Valley. (These two locations are in California and are the highest and lowest points respectively in the continental United States. They are only about 85 miles apart.) The helicopter will start at the top of Mount Whitney at an elevation of 14,505 feet and fly to the Badwater Basin (282 feet BELOW sea level). During its flight, the helicopter descends at a rate of 493 feet per minute, and the trip will take about 30 minutes. Write an equation that relates the helicopter's elevation (E) to the travel time (t).

Question 3 options:

E=−493t+14787

t=14505−493E

E=14505−493t

E=282+14505t

Atrain traveled for 1.5 hours to the first station, stopped for 30 minutes, then traveled for 4 hours to the final station where it stopped for 1 hour. the total distance traveled is a function of time. which graph most accurately represents this scenario? a graph is shown with the x-axis labeled time (in hours) and the y-axis labeled total distance (in miles). the line begins at the origin and moves upward for 1.5 hours. the line then continues upward at a slow rate until 2 hours. from 2 to 6 hours, the line continues quickly upward. from 6 to 7 hours, it moves downward until it touches the x-axis a graph is shown with the axis labeled time (in hours) and the y axis labeled total distance (in miles). a line is shown beginning at the origin. the line moves upward until 1.5 hours, then is a horizontal line until 2 hours. the line moves quickly upward again until 6 hours, and then is horizontal until 7 hours a graph is shown with the axis labeled time (in hours) and the y-axis labeled total distance (in miles). the line begins at the y-axis where y equals 125. it is horizontal until 1.5 hours, then moves downward until 2 hours where it touches the x-axis. the line moves upward until 6 hours and then moves downward until 7 hours where it touches the x-axis a graph is shown with the axis labeled time (in hours) and the y-axis labeled total distance (in miles). the line begins at y equals 125 and is horizontal for 1.5 hours. the line moves downward until 2 hours, then back up until 5.5 hours. the line is horizontal from 5.5 to 7 hours
