The temperature at which water starts to boil ( it’s boiling point) is linearly related to the altitude. At sea level, water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. For every 1000 feet increases in altitude, the degrees Fahrenheit at which water will boil decreases by 1.9. If you are 6100 feet above sea level what will the boiling point of water be?

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
