Question 1155124: For a ground temperature of 15°C, the air temperature (t) at an altitude of 500 m (h) is 10°C. At 2000 m, the air temperature is -5°C. Use the ordered pairs (h,t).
a. Find a linear equation for these data points.
b. Use this linear equation to find the air temperature at 1500 m.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! For a ground temperature of 15°C, the air temperature (t) at an altitude of 500 m (h) is 10°C. At 2000 m, the air temperature is -5°C. Use the ordered pairs (h,t).
------------
To do what? You didn't say.
=====================
(15 - 10)/500 = 0.01°C/meter
(-5 - 15)/2000 ---> 0.01°C/meter
The 3 points are colinear.
