A helicopter is planning a route in a straight line from the top of Mount Whitney to Death Valley. (These two locations are in California and are the highest and lowest points respectively in the continental United States. They are only about 85 miles apart.) The helicopter will start at the top of Mount Whitney at an elevation of 14,505 feet and fly to the Badwater Basin (282 feet BELOW sea level). During its flight, the helicopter descends at a rate of 493 feet per minute, and the trip will take about 30 minutes. Write an equation that relates the helicopter's elevation (E) to the travel time (t).

Question 3 options:

E=−493t+14787

t=14505−493E

E=14505−493t

E=282+14505t
