a) Create a scatter plot for April mean temperature versus latitude North. b) Draw a line of best fit. c) Estimate the y-intercept of the line of best fit. What does this value tell you about the mean April temperature of a city at the equator where latitude North is 0? d) Determine the slope of the line of best fit. e) Write the equation of the line of best fit. f) Explain what a line of best fit is and why it is useful. g) Mexico City has a latitude North of 19. Use your equation to predict the April mean temperature for Mexico City.

COLLEGE PREPARATION MATHEMETICS - TECHNICAL (MAT0001) 13. A mountaineer drives his truck to a base camp partway up a mountain. He then begins climbing on foot with his altitude rising at a constant rate. The equation relating climbing time and altitude can be written as A mt b , where A is altitude and t is the number of hours spent climbing. After 2 hours of climbing, he has reached an altitude of 350 m. After 5 hours, he has reached 545 m. These altitudes and times represent two points on the graph of the equation A mt b . Note: You may like to draw a quick sketch of these two points, (2, 350) and (5, 545), to help you answer this question. Your sketch will not be marked. 2 3 2 3 2 2 2 a) b) c) d) e) f) Find the slope of this linear relation. In the context of this question, what the slope represent? Find the y-intercept. In the context of this question, what does the y-intercept represent? Write the equation of the line. Use the equation to determine the altitude of the climber after 7 hours of climbing. g) In answering part (f) what assumption have you made about the climbing speed? Does this seem reasonable? Explain.
