In order to have enough water pressure to hold up a barefoot water skier, the boat needs to travel at a high rate of speed. A common formula used by boat drivers to estimate the speed needed is v= and w is the weight of the barefooter (in pounds). Interpret the slope in terms of the 20+ 0.10w, where v is the speed of the boat (in mph) application. Choose the best answer from the options below. For every additional pound the barefooter weighs, the speed of the boat should decrease by 0.10 mph. For every additional pound the barefooter weighs, the speed of the boat should increase by 0.10 mph. The starting speed, before any barefooter weight is considered, is 20 mph. For every additional pound the barefooter weighs, the speed of the boat should increase by 20 mph.
