We can rewrite this in the form of h (t):
at t = 1, h = 6
at t = 4, h = -3
The linear equation is in the form of:
h = mt + b
where m is the slope and b is the h-intercept
So calculating for the slope m:
m = [-3 – 6] / (4 – 1)
m = (-9) / 3
m = -3
So,
h = -3t + b
Solving for b by plugging in any pair:
6 = -3(1) + b
b = 9
Therefore:
h = -3t + 9
