An elevator is traveling underground at a constant rate. The equation y=−2x−10 can be used to represent this situation, where y is the position of the elevator underground in feet and x is the number of seconds the elevator has been traveling. Which statement best describes the position of the elevator, given this equation?

(a)From a starting position of 2 feet underground, the elevator is descending 10 feet per second.

(b)From a starting position of 10 feet underground, the elevator is ascending 2 feet per second.

(c)From a starting position of 10 feet underground, the elevator is descending 2 feet per second.

(d)From a starting position of 2 feet underground, the elevator is ascending 10 feet per second.

c is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helped have a good day

i believe that the answer is

b. y-1=-2(x-4)

hope this !

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
