<h3>Answer: B. 62 degrees fahrenheit</h3>

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

Explanation:

x = elevation in feet

y = temperature in fahrenheit

The temperature goes up 1/10 = 0.1 degrees for every 100-foot increase of elevation. So the slope is 0.1/100 = 0.001, which tells us how fast the temperature is increasing. In other words, the temperature goes up 0.001 degrees each time the elevation goes up by 1 foot.

The ground temperature is 60 degrees, which is our starting temperature. It's the value of y when x = 0. Therefore, 60 is the y intercept.

We have a slope of m = 0.001 and a y intercept of b = 60. The equation y = mx+b becomes y = 0.1x+60

Now plug in x = 2000 to find the temperature at this elevation

y = 0.001x+60

y = 0.001*2000+60

y = 2+60

y = 62

Answer:

B.62

Step-by-step explanation:

60 + (2000/100)            We find 20 is the answer to the division

60 + (20 * 1/10)           We find 2 is the answer to the multiplication

60 + (2)  

We can then + for elevation or - or depression or decrease.

= 62

= 62 degrees.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The images of the question are missing, I found a matching question and image online, and it is in the attachments.

Answer:

The scale factor of the triangles from the left to the right is 2

or

The scale factor of the triangles from the right to the left is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image, the right triangle on the left has the following dimensions:

Hypotenuse = 10

length of one side = 10

While the right triangle on the right has the following:

Hypotenuse = 20

Length of one side = 20

From the dimensions above it can be seen that the triangle on the right has a dimension of 2 times the triangle on the left:

Left (10)  × 2 = right (20)

Therefore the scale factor of the triangles from the left to the right is 2

or

The scale factor of the triangles from the right to the left is 1/2

Answer:

The given information tells us that AFD is either an equilateral or isosceles triangle.  We can see by the diagram that it is not equilateral, so the correct answer here would be the second one, "Isosceles".
