Answer:
a)
b) The pollution level at 4 o'clock in the afternoon is of 280 parts per million.
Step-by-step explanation:
The pollution level in the center of a city at 6 am is 30 parts per million and it grows in linear fashion by 25 parts per million every hour.
This means that the pollution in t hours after 6 am is given by:
, which is the answer to question a.
b. The pollution level at 4 o'clock in the afternoon
4 in the afternoon is 10 hours after 6 am, so this is y(10).
The pollution level at 4 o'clock in the afternoon is of 280 parts per million.
The line that passes through (-2, 1) and (8, 2) is:
y = (1/10)*x + 12/10
<h3>How to find the equation of the line?</h3>I assume you want to find the equation of the line that passes through (-2, 1) and (8, 2).
A general linear equation is written as:
y = a*x + b
If the line passes through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope can be written as:
In this case, we know that it passes through (-2, 1) and (8, 2), then:
Then the line is:
y = (1/10)*x + b
To find the value of b, we use one of the given points, for example if we use (8, 2), it means that when x = 8, we must have y = 2.
2 = (1/10)*8 + b
2 - 8/10 = b
20/10 - 8/10 = b
12/10 = b
Then the linear equation is:
y = (1/10)*x + 12/10
