	The equation of a ski slope		2016-08-31
		From Hannah: The information provided is ---A ski slope has a slope of -0.2. You start at an altitude of 10,000ft. Then the question is "Write the equation giving altitude (a) as a function of horizontal distance moved (d). I know this is probably a very simple question but I didn't take a math class my senior year and now I'm a freshman in college, so some of it is very frustrating to me. Any help is much appreciated, thank you! Answered by Penny Nom.
