Michael Phelps dives off a platform and the path of the dive creates a slope od -5m/s. If the platform is at the coordinate point (0, 10), at what point would he hit the water?
A slope of -5 is a slope of -5/1; which means, that every time you move one space to the right, you move 5 spaces down.
Place a dot at (0, 10), ove to the right 1 space and down 5 spaces; keep doint this until you hit the x-axis.
This is the place that he will hit the water.
