Question

Mountain Climbers use a general rule of thumb which estimates that the temperature will drop 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit for every 1000ft find the equation to find the temperature at 10000ft

Answer 1

Answer:

55.5F

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = slope = -3.5/1000

distance = x = 1000

b = temperature at x = 0 = 59F according to https://www.universalweather.com/blog/international-standard-atmosphere-how-it-affects-flight-understanding-the-basics/

temperature = y = ?

y = -.0035(1000) + 59

y = 55.5
