The height of an airplane, h, in feet, t, minutes after it begins its descent into Orlando International Airport can be modeled by the following function: h(t)= -600t + 37000

What does the --600 represent in terms of this context?

-600 shows the rate of decline

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the  model is

h(t)= -600t + 370001

comparing this expression with the equation of a straight line which is

y=mx+c2

-600 shows that the rate of decrease/decline is 600 ft per time

37000 show a constant amount which was the height it was at before declining
