The function has a slope : m = - 2 and contains the point ( 8, 12 ).
y = m x + b
12 = ( - 2 ) * 8 + b
12 = - 16 + b
b = 12 + 16
b = 28
The slope-intercept form of the function is:
y = - 2 x + 28

The highest elevation of basket dome 40 years ago was measured at 7,600 feet. what is the rate of change in elevation for this a

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Rate of change in elevation = 0.6 in/year

Step-by-step explanation:

Note:

Current elevation (Missing) = 7,602 feet

Given:

Old elevation = 7,602 feet

Number of year = 7,600

Find:

Rate of change in elevation

Computation:

Change in elevation = 7,602 - 7,600

Change in elevation = 2 ft

Change in elevation = 2 x 12 = 24 inches

Rate of change in elevation = 24 / 40

Rate of change in elevation = 0.6 in/year
