Question

The table shows the temperature (y) at different altitudes (x). This is a linear relationship. Use the equation y = -0.004x + 59 to determine the temperature at an altitude of 5,000 feet. 0 Altitude (ft), x Temperature (°F),y 2,000 51 4,000 43 6,000 35 59 8,000 27 10,000 12,000 19 11 The temperature at an altitude of 5,000 feet Is OF.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We must replace in the equation given the altitude in the variable x ; the exercise is as follows:

`\begin{gathered} y=-0.004x+59 \\ y=-0.004(5,000)+59 \\ y=-0.02+59 \\ y=58.98 \\ \text{ANSWER: The temperature at an altitude of 5,000 is 58.98} \end{gathered}`
