Answer:

T = - 3.2e + 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

e = elevation in thousands of feets

T = temperature (°F)

e1 = 5 ; e2 = 10 (in thousands of feet)

T1 = 64° ; T2 = 48°

y = mx + c ; T = me + c

y = ; m = slope, c = intercept

64 = m5 + c - - - - (1)

48 = m10 + c - - - - (2)

From (1)

c = 64 - m5

Substitute c = 64 - m5 into (2)

48 = m10 + c - - - - (2)

48 = m10 + 64 - m5

48 - 64 = 10m - 5m

-16 = 5m

m = - 16 / 5

m = - 3.2

Substitute the value of m into c = 64 - m5

c = 64 - 5(-3.2)

c = 64 - (-16)

c = 64 + 16

c = 80

Inserting our c and m values into T = me + c

T = - 3.2e + 80

Where e is in thousands of feet

T is in °F

How do you solve 2/3x+15=17? it is confusing. i have been stuck on this problem for a while...
kirill [66]
Find the opposite of adding 15. So it would be subtracting 15. So subtract 15 on both sides. So it would have 2/3x on the left and then 2 on the other side. (2/3x=2) Now find the opposite of multiplying 2/3. It is dividing 23/3. So divide 23/3 on both sides. So multiply 2/3 times 1/2. It would equal 3. x = 3
Hope this helps. :-)

How do you Graph y= x + 4
Marrrta [24]

put x=0 then y=4

put y=0 then x=-4

therefore 2 ccordintes are

(0,4) and (-4,0)

take a scale and construct a line joining these two points.

you will get the required graph.

hope it helps.

please follow if you like.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

height = 5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cuboid = length x breadth x height

7500 = 25 x 60 x height

height = 7500 / 1500

height = 5

Answer:

The slope is 4 and y-intercept is actually 3... (I hope)

Remember rise over run, here you can see that it goes up 4 and over 1.

I am so sorry, I'm not good at explaining
