It is 64º F at the 5000-foot level of a mountain, and 48º F at the 10,000-foot level of the mountain. Write a linear equation, in slope-intercept form, to find the temperature T at an elevation e on the mountain, where e is in thousands of feet.

T = - 3.2e + 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

e = elevation in thousands of feets

T = temperature (°F)

e1 = 5 ; e2 = 10 (in thousands of feet)

T1 = 64° ; T2 = 48°

y = mx + c ; T = me + c

y = ; m = slope, c = intercept

64 = m5 + c - - - - (1)

48 = m10 + c - - - - (2)

From (1)

c = 64 - m5

Substitute c = 64 - m5 into (2)

48 = m10 + c - - - - (2)

48 = m10 + 64 - m5

48 - 64 = 10m - 5m

-16 = 5m

m = - 16 / 5

m = - 3.2

Substitute the value of m into c = 64 - m5

c = 64 - 5(-3.2)

c = 64 - (-16)

c = 64 + 16

c = 80

Inserting our c and m values into T = me + c

T = - 3.2e + 80

Where e is in thousands of feet

T is in °F

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following
