F<span>or every 1,000 feet you go up in elevation</span>, <span>the temperature decreases by about 3.3°F</span>
Given:
Temperature at the bottom of the mountain is 74°F
The top of the mountain is 5500 feet above you
Change (reduction) in temperature is 3.3 X 5500 / 1000
= 18.15°F
Temperature at the top of the mountain is 74°F – 18.15°F
= 55.85°F
-12+3b-1=-5-b
Combine like terms to get:
3b-13=-5-b
Add 13 to both sides:
3b= 8-b
Add b to both sides:
4b=8
Divide both sides by 4:
4b/4=8/4
b=2
Final answer
b=2
Ask your teacher .... no kidding but really just convert the numbers
F(x) = 5(x + 4) – 80
f(x) = 5(x + 8) – 80
f(x) = 5(x + 4)2 – 80
f(x) = 5(x + 8)2 – 80
(3,5)....x1 = 3 and y1 = 5
(1,3)....x2 = 1 and y2 = 3
slope formula : (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope = (3 - 5) / (1 - 3) = -2/-2 = 1 <== slope is 1
