a. DeepSea Challenger's descent was a change in depth of (-4) feet per
second. We can use the equation y = -4x to model this relationship, where
y is the depth and x is the time in seconds that have passed.
How many seconds does this model suggest it would
take
for DeepSea
Challenger to reach the bottom?
The temperature at which water starts to boil (its boiling point) is linearly related to the altitude. At sea level, water boils at
212◦F.
For every 1000-feet increase in altitude, the degrees Fahrenheit at which water will boil decreases by 1.9. If you are
8500
feet above sea level, what will the boiling point of water be?
The boiling point will be

(Round answer to nearest hundredth of a degree.)
The temperature at which water starts to boil is called its boiling point and is linearly related to the altitude. Water boils at 212°F at sea level
and at 193.6°F at an altitude of 10,000 feet.
(a) Find a relationship of the form T = mx + b where T is degrees Fahrenheit and x is altitude in thousands of feet.
(b) Find the boiling point at an altitude of 4,300 feet.
(c) Find the altitude if the boiling point is 197.5°F.
(d) Graph T and illustrate the answers to (b) and (c) on the graph.
(a) Choose the correct relationship below.
O A. T = 1.84x+212
O B. T = 1.84x +212
O C. T = 1.84x-212
O D. T= 1.84x - 212
