A hot air balloon is traveling at a altitude of 2400 feet. It begins to descend at a rate of 75 per minute. What is an expression that represents the rate of descent for the hot air balloon

y=-75x+2400

Step-by-step explanation:

y is the height

-75 is the rate of change so you put that before your x

2400 is your starting value/y intercept

not very good explanation but hope this helps

check the picture below.

well, the angle at the vertex d is clearly not a right-angle, let's check for the one at the vertex f which does look like,   however if it's indeed, that means ef is perpendicular to df, in which case their slopes will be negative reciprocal of each other.

so the negative reciprocal of the slope of ef is 1, however the slope of df is not 1, is 1/2, so nope, they're not perpendicular lines.
