Answer:
a = 19
Step-by-step explanation:
If the rate of change is -8, subtract 8 from your y value of 27. And if 19 is correct, you should be able to subtract 8, and get 11 as the next number in the function, which you do, so 19 is the value of a.
1.609/5280 = 3.2/x....1.609 km to 5380 ft = 3.2 km to x ft
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(1.609)(x) = (5280)(3.2)
1.609x = 16896
x = 16896/1.609
x = 10,500 ft <===
