<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.

Which expression is equivalent to 18 − 20?
Sveta_85 [38]
The answer is 18+(-20) because if if you were going to solve that equation you would use the absolute value of -20 and then the opposite of the sign giving you 18-20. Hope this helps:)

23. A grid shows the positions of a subway stop and your house. The subway stop is located at (-5, 2) and your house is located
Sindrei [870]
(-5, 2)(-9,9)
D = √( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 )
D = √( (-9+5)^2 + (9 - 2)^2 )
D =√( (-4)^2 + (7)^2 )
D = √( 16 + 49 )
D = √65
D = 8

If p and q are non-zero rational numbers, and s and t are irrational numbers, select all of the statements that are always false
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The false choices are A, C, and E

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make an example:

p=1

q=2

s=sqrt(3)

t=sqrt(6)

Since pq=1*2=2, the answer is rational and A is false.

Since pt=1*sqrt(6)=sqrt(6), the answer is irrational and B is true.

Since p/q=1/2=0.5, the answer is rational and C is false.

Since st=sqrt(3)*sqrt(6)=sqrt(18), the answer is irrational and D is true.

Since s/t=sqrt(3)/sqrt(6)=sqrt(1/2), the answer is irrational and E is false.
