<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.

Answer:

1

0.8

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x

Substituting '5':

5 = 5x

x = 5/5

x = 1

Substituting 4:

4 = 5x

x = 4/5

x = 0.8

Substituting 2:

2 = 5x

x = 2/5

x = 0.4

UNO [17]

Answer:

y = 3.6x + 28

Step-by-step explanation:

y = Mx + c

64 = 3.6(10) + c

64 = 36 + c

64 - 36 = c

28 = c

Expand the expression.<br> -7 (6 - 3)<br><br> -k - 21<br> -7k + 21<br> -7k - 21<br> K + 21
Pie

Answer:

(B.) -7k+21

Step-by-step explanation:

Your first step should be to solve your original expression.

-7×6=-42

-7x-3=21.

You're finishing numbers are -42 and 21.

-7k can equal to -42 if k is 6.

So we can use -7k

Since -7x-3=21, Then the answer would have to be:

-7k+21.
