The temperature at which the water starts to boil is called its boiling point
The temperature at which the water starts to boil is called its boiling
point and is related to the altitude. Water boils at 212 F at sea level and 193.6 F
at an altitude of 10,000 feet.
1. Find a relationship of the form T=mx+b where T is in degrees Fahrenheit and X is altitude in thousands of feet.
2. Find the boiling point at an altitude of 5000 feet.
3. Find the altitude if the boiling point is 200 F.
4. Graph the equation in #1.
