- A certain mountain has an elevation of 19,273 feet. In 1921, the glacier on this peak covered 4 acres. By 2001 this glacier had melted to only 1 acre. (a) Assume that this glacier melted at a constant rate each year. Find this yearly rate. (b) Use your answer from part (a) to write a linear equation that gives the acreage A of this glacier t years past 1921. The yearly rate of change is acres/year. (Type an integer or a decimal. Round to the nearest thousandth.) What is the equation that gives the acreage of the glacier t years after 1921? (Simplify your answer. Type your answer in slope-intercept form. Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the equation.)arrow_forward1) The average annual cost (in dollars) of tuition and fees at public four-year colleges for the year 2002 (x=2) was $4098 and for the year 2009 (x= 9) was $7020. Ifx 0 corresponds to the year 2000 a) Find the slope of this linear relationship where x = year and y = annual cost of tuition and fees at public four-year colleges.arrow_forwardPlease answer all questions, be quick!!!

Let V be the value of the car at t years since 2014. a) Find the slope of the linear model that describes the situation. b) What is the V-intercept of the model? c) Find an equation that models the situation. d) Use the model (your equation) to predict the approximate value of the car in the year 2019.arrow_forwardA container of fuel dispenses fuel at the rate of 5 gallons per second. If y represents the amount of fuel remaining in the container, and x represents the number of seconds that have passed since the fuel started dispensing, then x and y satisfy a linear relationship. In a coordinate plane, will the slope of the line representing that relationship have a positive, negative, or zero slope?arrow_forward

Given this information and holding everything else constant, write the new equation for this relationship in slope-intercept form. b) Return to the initial relationship between X and Y. Suppose you are now told that the quantity of X doubles at every value of Y, for all values of X greater than or equal to zero. This domain implies that we are only considering positive values of X. Given this information and holding everything else constant, write the new equation for this relationship in slope-intercept form for these positive values of X.arrow_forwardThere is a linear relationship between how many times a cricket will chirp per minute and the local temperature. If a cricket chirps 175 times per minute at 85°F and 225 chirps per minute at 95°F determine the following: a) What is a linear equation for the temperature T(N) as a function of the number of chirps per minute N. b) What is the slope and what does it mean? The slope is which means for every increase in chirps per minute, we can expect the temperature to be degrees warmer. The slope is -, which means for every increase in chirps per minute, we can expect the temperature to be of a degree colder. The slope is 5, which means for every increase in chirps per minute, we can expect the temperature to be 5 degrees warmer. c) What is the local temperature if the crickets are chirping at a rate of 190 chirps per minute? °Farrow_forward
