An airplane altitude in feet during its descend can be found using the function f(x)=-200x+20,000. After new government regulations become law the descent is now modeled by the function g(x)=-200x+20,500. Which statement describes the change?

Answer:

The airplane starts its descent from an altitude 500 feet higher.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

F(x) = - 200x+20,000

g(x) = -200x+20,500

The functions are written in slope intercept format :

With a negative slope, the intercept gives the point which the rate of change begins in the vertical axis :

The slope is -200 ; which means that the descent rate of the airplane is 200

The intercept value however changes from 20,000 in f(x) to 20500 in g(x). This means that the height at which descent starts is now at a height of 20500 which is (20500 - 20000) = 500 miles higher than before.
