The relationship between altitude and the boiling point of a liquid is linear. At an altitude of 8100 ft, the liquid boils at 20

1.28°F. At an altitude of 4300 ft, the liquid boils at 205.84°F. Write an equation giving the boiling point b of the​ liquid, in degrees​ Fahrenheit, in terms of altitude​ a, in feet. What is the boiling point of the liquid at 2200 ft?

Answer:

  b = -0.0012a +211

  208.36 °F at 2200 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two points:

  (a, b) = (8100, 201.28) and (4300, 205.84)

The slope of the desired line can be found using the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (205.84 -201.28)/(4300 -8100) = 4.56/-3800 = -0.0012

The "y-intercept" of the function can be found from ...

  y-intercept = b -ma

  y-intercept = 201.28 -(-0.0012)(8100) = 211.00

So, the function of interest is ...

  b = -0.0012a +211

__

At 2200 ft, the boiling point is ...

  b = -0.0012×2200 +211 = -2.64 +211 = 208.36

The boiling point of the liquid at 2200 ft is 208.36 °F.

Find an equation of the line passing through the given points. Write the equation in the function notation.
Mrrafil [7]
First you need to find the slope of the line using the given coordinates of the two points.
The slope of the line = (1-4)/(4-3) = -3
Then you choose one pair of the coordinates given, either (3,4) or (4,1) , up to you, to find the equation of the line.
If you choose (3,4)
Then
(y-4)/(x-3) = -3
(y-4) = -3x+9
y = -3x+13

If you choose (4,1),
Then
(y-1)/(x-4) = -3
y-1 = -3x+12
y = -3x+13

So, F(x)=-3x+13

How can you get equation b from equation A. 3(x+2)=18 B. X+2=18
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

We start with the equation:

A: 3*(x + 2) = 18

And we want to construct equation B:

B: X + 2 = 18

where I suppose that X is different than x.

Because in both equations the right side is the same thing, then the left side also should be the same thing, this means that:

3*(x + 2) = X + 2

Now we can isolate the variable x.

(x + 2) = (X + 2)/3

x = (X + 2)/3 - 2

Then we need to replace x by  (X + 2)/3 - 2 in equation A, and we will get equation B.

Let's do it:

A: 3*(x + 2) = 18

Now we can replace x by =  (X + 2)/3 - 2

3*( (X + 2)/3 - 2 + 2) = 18

3*(  (X + 2)/3 ) = 18

3*(X + 2)/3 = 18

(X + 2) = 18

Which is equation B.
