Question

hows the weather up there? frostbite does not occur at temperatures above 28 degrees fahrenheit. estimate the altitudes at which temperature is predicted to be at least 28 degrees fahrenheit. explain the process you used to get your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Locate 28 on temperature axis

Find 28 degrees Fahrenheit on the vertical temperature - axis.

Step2: Draw horizontal line

Draw a horizontal line from 28 on the temperature - axis until it intersects the plotted line.

Step3: Find corresponding altitude

From the intersection point, draw a vertical line down to the altitude - axis and read the value. It appears to be around 10 (units of altitude).

Answer:

The estimated altitude at which the temperature is at least 28 degrees Fahrenheit is about 10 (units of altitude). The process involved locating 28 on the temperature axis, drawing a horizontal line to the plotted line, and then finding the corresponding altitude value on the altitude axis.
