Answer:

T = 88 -(7/2000)A

Step-by-step explanation:

The table values have a constant difference of +2000 ft and -7 degrees, so the slope of the linear equation is -7/2000 degrees per ft. The temperature is 88 at an altitude of 0, so we can write the requested equation in slope-intercept form as ...

T = 88 -(7/2000)A

_____

The slope-intercept form of the equation for a line is ...

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this equation, y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable. For our temperature equation, the dependent variable is T, and the independent variable is A.

Jake charges $15 per hour for swim lessons. The cost is per student. Is the amount of money jake makes per hour proportional to

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Jake is being paid $15 an hour, not per child.

Say he has five children, three stay for one hour, two stay for two hours. If he's getting paid per hour, then he'd earn $105. But, if he gets paid per child he'd only make $75 dollars.

But since it says that he gets paid per HOUR, it would be proportional to how much money he makes.

Levart [38]

Answer:

Less than 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The eason behind the answer being less than 5 is because if you multiply something by a fraction that is less than a whole number, then you will get less than the original number you multiplied the fraction with.

Hope this helps :)
