Question

ranga · Answer

The balloon descends at the rate of 85 feet per minute.
In x minutes, the balloon would have descended 85*x feet.
The initial height was 1020 feet.
Therefore, the height y after x minutes will be:  y = 1020 - 85x

I dont really know what the question asks, but the equation of time relative to height should be 
h = 1020-(85*t)
