the relationship between altitude and the boiling point of a liquid is linear. at an altitude of 8400 ft, the liquid boils at 202.4 farenheit. at an altitude of 4200 ft, the liquid boils at 208.7 farenheit. write an equation giving the boiling point b of the liquid, in degrees farenheit in terms of altitude a, in feet. what is the boiling point of the liquid at 2400 ft?

Respuesta :

Answer: boiling point at altitude = 2100 ft:

Now, in order to calculate the boiling point at altitude 2100, we will substitute in the equation of the line as follows:

y = -0.0015(2100) + 213 = 209.85 degrees Fahrenheit
