In a cliff diving championship in Acapulco, a diver dives from a cliff. Write the equation that describes his height during the dive if in the beginning when t=0 sec he was 70 feet above the ocean, after 1 sec he was 74 feet above the ocean, and after 2 sec he was 46 feet above the ocean. What points will you use to find the equation? Step 1. Write the system on equations: Step 2. Find the equation y=
