A 1 lb sponge initially contains 5 lb of water. As it is lifted up from the ground, the sponge loses water at a constant rate such that only 3 lb of water is left when it reaches a height of 10 ft. Provide the equation for the weight of the sponge as a function of height. Ow=-2y+6 w = -y/5 + 6 w = -2y + 5 w=-y/5 +5
