<h3>
Answer: B. 62 degrees fahrenheit</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
x = elevation in feet
y = temperature in fahrenheit
The temperature goes up 1/10 = 0.1 degrees for every 100-foot increase of elevation. So the slope is 0.1/100 = 0.001, which tells us how fast the temperature is increasing. In other words, the temperature goes up 0.001 degrees each time the elevation goes up by 1 foot.
The ground temperature is 60 degrees, which is our starting temperature. It's the value of y when x = 0. Therefore, 60 is the y intercept.
We have a slope of m = 0.001 and a y intercept of b = 60. The equation y = mx+b becomes y = 0.1x+60
Now plug in x = 2000 to find the temperature at this elevation
y = 0.001x+60
y = 0.001*2000+60
y = 2+60
y = 62
Answer: y = 5x − 11
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c
Where c = intercept
Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis represent
change in the value of y = y2 - y1
Change in value of x = x2 -x1
y2 = final value of y
y 1 = initial value of y
x2 = final value of x
x1 = initial value of x
The line passes through (3,4) and (2, -1),
y2 = - 1
y1 = 4
x2 = 2
x1 = 3
Slope,m = (- 1 - 4)/(2 - 3) = - 5/- 1 = 5
To determine the y intercept, we would substitute x = 3, y = 4 and m= 5 into
y = mx + c. It becomes
4 = 5 × 3 + c
4 = 15 + c
c = 4 - 15 = - 11
The equation becomes
y = 5x - 11
4,200+525(5×12)
4,200+525(60)=
4,200+31,500=35,700
