Question
Challenge The scatter plot shows the elevation of an airplane as it starts to
descend toward the ground. The plot suggests a linear association among the
data. Two points that lie on the trend line drawn are (30,16494) and (60,2160).
Find an approximate equation for the trend line. Then use that equation to find a
similar equation if the plane descended at a rate 1.2 times as fast starting from
an elevation 2,000 ft higher.
Elevation During Descent
