Answer 4

To write an equation for the altitude of the airplane, we need to take into account that the plane is descending at a rate of 500 feet per mile.

Let A represent the altitude of the airplane in feet, and let m represent the number of miles that the airplane descends.

The starting altitude of the airplane is 3000 feet, so the equation for the altitude would be:

A = 3000 - (500 * m)

This equation subtracts 500 feet for each mile the airplane descends from the starting altitude of 3000 feet.
