    I think this is suppose to be

    x y

    2 1400

    4 1000

    you see at 2 hours they have 1400 left and at 4 hours they have 1000 feet left.

    first we need y intercept or b since we will put it in y=mx+b form

    so at x = 0 whats y. Based on this every 2 hours you climb 400. so go back from x=2 to x=0 would make 1000 into 1800 feet left

    so at x hours you have 1800 left

    y - intercept is (0, 1800) or + 1800

    now we need slope

    difference in y / difference in x

    diff in y = 1400-1000 = 400

    diff in x = 2 - 4 = - 2

    difference in y / difference in x = 400/-2 = - 200 is the slope

    y=mx + b for

    y=-200x+1800
