You are controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for surveillance. The table shows the height y (in thousands of feet) of the UAV x minutes after you start its descent from cruising altitude.

y=-1/2x+58, decreases 500, begins, 58k

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not too sure about my equation for the word problem but I can explain how I got it.

The equation is in y=mx+b format, so we need to find the slope. They gave us the graph for a reason. You would take each side of the table and subtract/add. For example: 58-53=-5 (y), 0+10=10 (x).

Then, just put that in rise over run (-5/10).

Simplify. Which gives you -1/2.

They already gave us the y-intercept, so just put it into the equation. y=-1/2x+58.

Keep in mind I don't know if you need to add the 0's because it's thousands of feet, I would just in case though. Hoped this helped!

answer: 0,6

step-by-step explanation:

this would make it the y intercept.
