3. Avery records her rock-climbing progress and finds that her altitude, in kilometers above sea
level, can be represented by a linear model, A = 7+ 1.3t, where t is the number of hours since
Avery started climbing.
Based on this model, how many kilometers above sea level was Avery's altitude before she started
climbing?
km

Sagot :

Using the given linear function, it is found that Avery was 7 kilometers above sea level before she started climbing.

What is a linear function?

A linear function is modeled by:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can be interpreted as the initial value.

In this problem, her altitude in kilometers after t hours is modeled by:

A(t) = 7 + 1.3t.

The y-intercept is of b = 7, which means that Avery was 7 kilometers above sea level before she started climbing.
