A sand dune stands 5 feet above sea level. The hill is eroding at a rate of 1 foot per 20 years. Let y represent the height of the sand dune after x years. Which equation represents the situation?
y = negative StartFraction 1 Over 20 EndFraction x minus 5
y = negative StartFraction 1 Over 20 EndFraction x + 5
y = negative 20 x minus 5
y = negative 20 x + 5Mrs. Jacobson asked her students to write a word problem that describes the graph below.
