The altitude above sea level of an airplane just after taking off from an airport on a high plateau is given by the linear function y = 600x +3158, where y is in feet and x is the time in minutes since take-off. Find and interpret the slope and y-intercept. O A. m=3158; The minutes since take-off increases 3158 for every foot of altitude. b=600; It takes 600 minutes for the plane to get to the altitude of the airport from sea level. OB. m 600; The minutes since take-off increases 600 for every foot of altitude. b=3158; It takes 3158 minutes for the plane to get to the altitude of the airport from sea level. O C. m 600; The altitude of the airplane increases 600 feet every minute. b = 3158; The altitude of the airport where the airplane took-off is 3158 feet above sea level. O D. m=3158; The altitude of the airplane increases 3158 feet every minute. b = 3158; The altitude of the airport where the airplane took-off is 600 feet above sea level.

The altitude above sea level of an airplane just after taking off from an airport on a high plateau is given by the linear
function y = 600x + 3158, where y is in feet and x is the time in minutes since take-off. Find and interpret the slope and
y-intercept.
O A. m = 3158; The minutes since take-off increases 3158 for every foot of altitude. b = 600; It takes 600 minutes
for the plane to get to the altitude of the airport from sea level.
OB. m=600; The minutes since take-off increases 600 for every foot of altitude. b=3158; It takes 3158 minutes
for the plane to get to the altitude of the airport from sea level.
OC. m = 600; The altitude of the airplane increases 600 feet every minute. b = 3158; The altitude of the airport
where the airplane took-off is 3158 feet above sea level.
O D. m = 3158; The altitude of the airplane increases 3158 feet every minute. b = 3158; The altitude of the airport
where the airplane took-off is 600 feet above sea level.
