Boiling point. The temperature at which water starts to boil is called its boiling point and is linearly related to the altitude. Water boils at 212°F at sea level and at 193.6°F at an altitude of 10,000 feet. (Source: biggreenegg.com)

(A) Find a relationship of the form T = mx + b where T is degrees Fahrenheit and x is altitude in thousands of feet.

(B) Find the boiling point at an altitude of 3,500 feet.

(C) Find the altitude if the boiling point is 200°F.

(D) Graph T and illustrate the answers to (B) and (C) on the graph.
