Problema Solution

The relationship between the air temperature t (in degrees Fahrenheit) and the altitude h (in feet above sea level) is approximately linear. At sea level, the temperature is 50. At 3500ft , the temperature is 15 express t in terms of h .

Answer provided by our tutors

We assme the equation is t=Ah+B

When h=0, t=B=50

When h=3500, t=3500A+B=15, so A=-0.01

So

t=-0.01h+50
