Question

Mr. Mole's burrow lies 555 meters below the ground. He started digging his way deeper into the ground, descending 333 meters each minute. Graph the relationship between mr. Mole's elevation relative to the ground (in meters) and time (in minutes).

Answer 1

The equation of the relationship between Mr. Mole's elevation relative to the ground is $y = -3x -5$

From the question, we have the following parameters

• Initial position = 5 meters below the ground (i.e -5m)
• Rate = -3 meters per minute

A linear equation is represented as:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

• m represents the rate
• b represents the initial value

So, the function is:

$y = -3x -5$

See attachment for the graph that represents $y = -3x -5$
