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.

PLEASE HELP: A standard six-sided die is rolled.
amm1812

Answer in fraction form is 1/3

Answer in decimal form is 0.3333

Pick one answer only.

==========================================================

Explanation:

The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes. In this case, the outcomes consist of values between 1 and 6

S = sample space

S = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

There are 6 items here. Let B = 6.

We want to roll a number greater than 4, so the event space we're after is

E = {5,6}

which consists of 2 items. Let A = 2.

The probability we want is A/B = 2/6 = 1/3 = 0.3333

So if you go with the fraction option, then you'll type in 1/3

If you go with the decimal option, then you'll type in 0.3333

8/7 divided by 5/8.
maksim [4K]

Answer:

64/35

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the second fraction's reciprocal.

The reciprocal of a fraction is just the top and bottom number switched.

So the reciprocal of 5/8 would be 8/5.

Now, you can multiply 8/7 by 8/5.

This gives you 64/35.

And that's it!

MrRissso [65]

The age of the van owned = 12 years

The age of the truck owned  = 29 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given question is INCOMPLETE.

Laura takes very good care of her vehicles. She owns a blue van and a red truck. Although she bought them both new, she has owned the truck for 17 years longer than she has owned the van. If the sum of the ages of the vehicles is 41 years, how old is the van and how old is the truck?

Let us assume the number of years Laura has owned the van = S years

So, according to the question:

The number of years she has owned truck = S + 17 years

Now, Sum of the age of ( Truck + Van)  = 41 years

⇒ (S + 17 years) + (S years)  = 41 years

or, 2 S +  17 = 41

or, 2 S  = 4 1 -1 7 = 24

or, S  = 24/2 = 12 years

or, S  = 12 years

Hence the age of the van owned = 12 years

The age of the truck owned  = S  + 17  = 12 + 17 = 29 years
