A plane is flying at an altitude of 1500 m. as it gets ready to land, it descends by 50m each minute.

Define the variables with 'let' statement


state the rate of change and initial value.
include units

Write an equation to describe the planes altitude


Use you equation to find the altitude after 9 minutes

​



Answer :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  a represent the  altitude of the plane in meters.

Let t represent the time in mins.

Rate of Change: -50

Initial value:1500 m

Equation:

a=1500-50t

Alititude after 9 mins:

a=1500-50x9

a=1500-450

a= 1050

After nine minutes the alititude is 1050.
