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

45.36 feet per second.

step-by-step explanation:

to find the most accurate determination for the number of feet per second tyrone traveled on his way to work let us convert miles to feet and minutes to seconds.

1 mile = 5280 feet.

1 minute = 60 seconds.

now we will divide 158400 by 3492 to find the most accurate determination for the number of feet per second tyrone traveled on his way to work.

therefore, tyrone traveled on his way to work at the rate of 45.36 feet per second.
