A passenger's tram ride to go up to Sandia Peak begins at an elevation of 6559 feet. One minute after starting, the passenger is at 6808 feet. (a) Find a linear function for the passenger's elevation, h, in feet, t minutes after starting the ride. h(t)=6559+246 t (b) Give the units and practical interpretation of the slope and vertical intercept. the rate at which the The slope is passenger is ascending and the units are in feet per minute. The vertical intercept is the elevation of the passenger at the beginning of the ride and the units are in feet.
