Question 28699: The relationship between the air temperatur t (in degrees Fahrenheit) and the altitude h ( in feet above sea level) is approcimately linear. At 1000 ft, the temperature is 60*. At 5000ft the temperature is 42*. Express t in therms of h. Use proper or improper fractions or exact decimals only no decimal approcimations. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If it's a linear relation then
t = mh +k where m is the slope and t = k when h = 0
this is the same as
multiply both sides by (h - 1000)
check
when h = 1000
when h = 5000
OK
