the graph models the height h in meters if a hot air balloon t minutes after beginning to descend. how high was the balloon when it began its descent

95 m

Step-by-step explanation:

If the graph shows the height of the balloon after t minutes from beginning of descent, look to when t = 0. At t=0 it has not yet begun it's descent because no minutes have passed. At that point on the graph the height is 95 m (the point is (0,95))

40 minutes

step-by-step explanation:

add the time and multiply by 2

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3
