Question

a canada goose taking off from the ground follows a path described by the line $y = \frac{1}{5}x + 900$. which equation is equivalent? let $x$ represent the horizontal distance in feet, and $y$ represent the height, in feet, above sea level.\
\\(\bigcirc\\) $y - 1 = \frac{1}{5}(x - 900)$\
\\(\bigcirc\\) $y - 900 = \frac{1}{5}(x - 1)$\
\\(\bigcirc\\) $x + 5y = -4500$\
\\(\bigcirc\\) $x - 5y = -4500$

Explanation:

Step1: Start with given equation

$y = \frac{1}{5}x + 900$

Step2: Eliminate fraction, multiply by 5

$5y = x + 4500$

Step3: Rearrange to standard form

$x - 5y = -4500$

Answer:

D. $x - 5y = -4500$
