Question 278141: I was hoping to check the solution to a word problem:
An airline chart shows that the temperature T in degrees Fahrenheit at an altitude, h, of 15000ft is 5. At an altitude of 20,000ft T=-15. If T is a linear function of h, write a function to describe this. What do the slope and y intercepts tell you in the context of this problem?
F(h)=-.004(h)+65
As your altitude increases, the temperature decreases.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are correct. Good job. One thing to add is that the y-intercept of 65 tells you that at a height of 0 ft, the temperature is 65 degrees.
