We will use the points (2 , 208.4) and (1 , 210.2) to find the slope of the line.

m = (210.2 - 208.4) / (1 - 2)
m = -1.8

The boiling point of water decreases by 1.8 °F for every 1000-foot increase in altitude.

Answer:

1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Altitude (1,000 feet)      Boiling Point of Water (°F)

0                                          212.0

0.5                                       211.1

1.0                                       210.2

2.0                                       208.4

2.5                                       207.5

3.0                                       206.6

4.0                                       204.8

4.5                                       203.9

Formula of slope m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

(x_1,y_1)=(0,212)

(x_2,y_2)=(0.5,211.1)

Substituting the values in the formula

m=\frac{211.1-212}{0.5-0}

m=\frac{-0.9}{0.5}

m= -1.8

Hence  the linear equation that represents the change in water’s boiling point for every 1,000-foot change in altitude has a slope of 1.8 units.

The sum of the first four terms of an arithmetic sequence is $10$. If the fifth term is $5$, what is the sixth term?
Nookie1986 [14]

The sixth term of an arithmetic sequence is 6

<h3>How to find arithmetic sequence?</h3>

The sum of the first four terms of an arithmetic sequence is 10.

The fifth term is 5.

Therefore,

sum of term = n / 2(2a + (n - 1)d)

where

  • a = first term
  • d = common difference
  • n = number of terms

Therefore,

n = 4

10 = 4 / 2 (2a + 3d)

10 = 2(2a + 3d)

10 = 4a + 6d

4a + 6d = 10

a + 4d = 5

4a + 6d = 10

4a + 16d = 20

10d = 10

d = 1

a + 4(1) = 5

a = 1

Therefore,

6th term = a + 5d

6th term = 1 + 5(1)

6th term = 6

Which mathematical sentence most Accurately expresses the information in the problem below?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Don't quote me on this but it's probably C. 12c ≥ 88

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because he packages 88 eggs <em>into </em>cartons of 12.

88/12 is 7.33333... so it makes sense to have a greater or equal amount of eggs. If you multiply 7.333333... by 12, each additional 3 gets you closer to 88 so again, makes sense to have more.
