Rich is standing in the Rosemont Valleyat an elevation of 120 feet above sea level. The change in elevation in the Rosemont Valley follows a linear relationship such that for each step forward Rich takes, his elevation increases by foot. If x represents the number of steps forward Rich has taken and y represents his elevation, which equation could be used to represent this linear relationship?

oh

OpenStudy (compassionate):

No one is really online right now. Try again in a little bit. Sorry about that! :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 1/3x + 120

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you get y = 1/3x+120?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because hes at 100 and 20x is the amount of steps he takes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean 120 and x is the amount of steps he takes which is one third

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is your answer correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the relationship is y = 120+x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no his elivation increases 1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 1/3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i for got to write his elevation increases by a third of a foot thats why
