Question 806465: For a ground temperature of 15 degrees C, the air temperature (t) at an altitude of 500 m (h) is 10 degrees C. At 2000 m, the air temperature is -5 degrees C. Use the ordered pairs (h,t) to write a linear equation.
B. Use this linear equation to find the air temperature at 1500 m

(500, 10)
(2000, -5)
using the two-point form:
m = 10 - -5 / 500 - 2000 = -0.01
b = 15
t = (-0.01)h + 15
