We have been given a table of values of a function. We are asked to determine whether the given function is linear or nonlinear.
We know that a function is linear when its rate of change (slope) is constant.
Let us find slope for each of the given points using slope formula.
Similarly, we will find the slopes using other given coordinates.
Since the rate of change for each set of points is , so the rate of change is constant.
Therefore, the given function is linear.
Answer:
Decreases by 2 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression that describes temperature as a function of latitude is:
This equation represents a linear relationship between latitude and temperature in a way that an increase in latitude causes a decrease in temperature. The magnitude of this decrease is quantified by the slope of the linear equation, which is -2. Therefore, the estimated temperature decreases by 2 degrees when latitude is increased by one.
Answer:
0.004
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 4/10 is 0.4 and 4/100 is 0.04, 4/1000 must be 0.004
