A roller coaster climbs straight up its highest point at 1/8 mile above the ground. It then drops 1/3 mile from its highest point into an underground passageway located beneath the amusement park how far is it from the underground passage up to the ground level? Describe the scenario?

List the important quantities?

What should the answer look like?

  y= -3x is the required function.

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given a table:

x             y

0             0

1             -3

3             -9

-2             6

we can see that the values of y is -3 times the value of x

hence, the function would be: y= -3x.

put the values of x will give the same y as in the table that means function is satisfying the given table.

answer: 4 (:
