Question 1114962: a) There is a linear relationship between the wind speed, s, in mph, for hurricanes and the barometric pressure, b, in millibars, mb. Use the points (950, 110) and (1000, 50) to write a linear function that defines the wind speed as a linear function of the barometric pressure.
b) interpret the slope in the context of the problem.
c) interpret the y-intercept in the context of the problem.
