Find a linear model for the number of acre-feet of water that evaporate as function of temperature.

E(T)=

1 answer

pick any pair to find the "slope"
I took the first two pairs

slope = (1840-1000)/60-40) = 42

so using the 1st point:
e-1000 = 42(t-40)
e - 1000 = 42t - 1680
42t - e = 680

or

e = 42t - 680

all "points" satisfy my equation
