Answer:
y = 700x - 400
Step-by-step explanation:
A negative number represents an altitude below sea level.
Beginning: -400
y = mx + b
y = mx - 400
In 2 hours the altitude was now 1000 m.
1000 m - (400 m) = 1400 m
The altitude went up 1400 m in 2 hours. The rate of change is
1400/2 m/h = 700 m/h
The rate of change is the slope.
y = 700x - 400
A=bh/2, that is area is equal to half of the product of the base and height, so in this case:
A=(1/2)*10*24
To find slope given two points, there is a formula you can use: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Y2 stands for the second y coordinate and y1 stands for the first y coordinate. The same logic applies to the x's. Let's assume that (3, -2) is x1, y1 and (4,7) is x2, y2. Let's plug them into the formula.
(7-(-2))/(4-3).
7-(-2)=9 for total y value.
4-3=1 for the x value.
Now we divide them.
9/1=9. 9=m. M is the variable commonly used for slope. Hope this helped!
