Michelle jumps from a plane at an altitude of 1000 m. After 10 seconds her parachute opens. The graph shows the relationship between her altitude and time. How long does it take for her to land on the ground?

A graph is shown with Time in minutes from 0 to three minutes on the x axis and Distance in meters from 0 to 1000 meters on the y axis. A line showing the altitude and time of a jumper starts at 0s, 0m. It continues to approximately 10 seconds, 250 m; then to approximately 160 seconds, 1000 m.
