Skydive jumps from a plane that is 5,000 feet above ground. the skydive opens his parachute when he is 1,500 feet above ground. write an equation that gives the height in feet of the skydiver above the ground as a function of time in seconds

let y be the total feet from ground

let x be the amount of time past

5000 is total starting amount

he loses 1500 feet per seconds (time)

y = 5000 - 1500x will be your equation

hope this helps

range is infinite on both x and y axis positive and negative
