y = − (7 /2) x + 60 equation could represent the line of best fit for the temperatures, in degrees Fahrenheit, based on the altitudes, in thousands of feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A plot for temperature and altitude

(Refer the attachment) .......FOR GRAPH

To Find:

Correct relationship between them

Solution:

By using given relationship as we can conclude.

1)y=-5x+70:

Put y=0 then

5x=70

x=70/5

x=14

This value dont corresponds when y=0 in graph

2) y=-10x+70

put y=0 then

10x=70

x=7

This value dont corresponds when y=0 in graph very less than original value.

3)y=-(7/2)x+60

put y=0 then

(7/2)x=60

7x=120

x=120/7

x=17.14

This value corresponds when y=0 in graph

4)y=-(9/2)x+60

Put y=0 then

(9/2)x=60

9x=120

x=120/9

x=13.33

This value dont corresponds when y=0 in graph which much less than original value.
