Answer:
The graph relates the temperature change
y
(in degrees Fahrenheit) to the altitude change
x
(in thousands of feet).
a. Is the relationship proportional? Explain.
b. Write an equation of the line. Interpret the slope.
c. You are at the bottom of a mountain where the temperature is
74\F
. The top of the mountain is 5500 feet above you.
What is the temperature at the top of the mountain?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Hey!
To start this problem, we'll most likely need a calculator. Handling 
can get a little messy, and tricky.
(also note that "pie" is a food, the mathematical term , is pronounced "pie", but spelled "pi.")
Anyway, multiplying 3.14159265359..... () 
160 = 502.654824574...... going on and on.
In general, these types of problems are better for a calculator if you want an exact answer. Otherwise, just resort to estimation. is pretty close to 3.14.
160 3.14 = 502.4, which is decently close to our other answer.
Hope this helps!
