A snowboarder starts at the top of a mountain that is 2,500 feet above sea level. The snowboarder then descnds at a constant rate of 650 feet per minute. Which equation represents this situaltion, where y represents the current altitude of the snowboarder, in feet, and x represents the number of minutes that have passed? A. y = 2,500x - 650 B. y = 650x + 2,500 C. y = -650x - 2,500 D. y = -650x + 2,500
