You are snow skiing down a mountain that is represented by the linear model y=30x+6,000, where y is the number of feet after x seconds. Predict your elevation level in feet if you ski 60 seconds.
To predict the elevation level in feet after skiing for 60 seconds, we substitute x = 60 into the linear model equation:
y = 30(60) + 6,000
y = 1,800 + 6,000
y = 7,800
Therefore, if you ski for 60 seconds, your elevation level is predicted to be 7,800 feet.
