Answers:

1) The dependent variable is the boiling point of water and the independent variable is the altitude.

2) The slope would represent the average decrease of the boiling point of water per every one thousand feet that the altitude increase.

Explanation:

1) given

Table:

<span>Altitude (in thousands of feet)    Boiling Point of Water (Fahrenheit)

(sea level) 0                                212
0.5                                               211.1
1.0                                               210
2.0                                               208.4
2.5                                               207.5
3.0                                               206.6
4.0                                               204.8
4.5                                               203.9

2) The independent variable is the input of the function, and the dependent variable is the output of the function.

The input determines the output once the rule is established.

Therefore:

a) the independent variable is the altitude, and
b) the dependent variable is the boiling point of water in Farenheit.

3) The slope of the graph would be:

                 change in the dependent variable          change in boiling point
slope = --------------------------------------------------- =  ---------------------------------
</span>                 change in the independent variable          change in altitude

Therefore, the slope represents the average change in the boiling boilin point of water every one thousand feet on change of altitude.

If the relationship is not linear, then the slope is not constant, and you will have different slopes for different parts.

If the slope is negative, means that as the altitude increase the boiling point of water decrease.

You can calculate the slope using any two pair of points (data)

              212 - 210           2
slope =---------------- =   ------- = - 2
                0 - 1            - 1

or, using other pair of points:

                204.8 - 210           -5.2             
slope = --------------------- =   --------- = -2.6
                  4.0 - 2.0               2.0

As you see, the slope is not constant. So, the function is not linear.

Answer:

For every increase of 1,000 feet in altitude, the boiling point of water decreases by 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit.

Christine bought 124 inches of red ribbon . she wants to make bows for a party . each now requires 5 inches of ribbon . How many
Minchanka [31]
The answer would be 24 because 124 divided by 5 is 24.8 but if you round it out of all the inches of red ribbon she can make 24

>= means greater than or equal to
<= means less than or equal to

---------------------------------------------

Part A

The graph of y >= -3x+3 will have a solid boundary line and the shading will be above the boundary line.

The boundary line y = -3x+3 has a negative slope so it moves down as you read it from left to right. It goes through the points (0,3) and (1,0)

--------------

The graph of y < (3/2)x - 6 will have a dashed or dotted boundary line. The shading is below the boundary.

The graph y = (3/2)x-6 goes through the two points (0,-6) and (2,-3)

--------------

If you graph both y >= -3x+3 and y < (3/2)x - 6 together, you get what you see in the attached image. This solution shaded region is the result of the overlapping prior shaded regions. 

---------------------------------------------

Part B

Plug (x,y) = (-6,3) into each inequality to see if we get a true inequality or not

For the first inequality we have
y >= -3x+3
3 >= -3*(-6)+3
3 >= 18+3
3 >= 21
which is false. The value 3 is not larger or equal to 21. So right off the bat we know that (-6,3) is NOT a solution. It is NOT in the solution region.

Let's check the other inequality just for the sake of completeness
y < (3/2)x - 6
3 < (3/2)*(-6) - 6
3 < -9 - 6
3 < -15
this is also false. The value -15 is smaller than 3, since it is to the left of 3

We're given more evidence that (-6,3) is NOT in the solution area. It is outside of both shaded areas.
