This table represents the boiling point of water at different altitudes. Which equation represents water’s boiling point (y) based on the change in altitude (x)?

OpenStudy (jack1):

y = mx +c...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one of the answer options are -0.6x + 212

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1.8x + 212

OpenStudy (jack1):

cant see the table or the answers, so just guessing at the moment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i wish there was a way to show you

OpenStudy (jack1):

take a screenshot of the table (ctrl + print screen) paste into MS paint save that pic upload using the "attach file"button below

OpenStudy (jack1):

ok...so my equation is correct, but u need to calculate m and c so when altitude = 0, y = c so whats the boiling point of water at sea level?

OpenStudy (jack1):

next: m use equation: \[\large \frac {y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}\]
