- Cholesterol. The age, x, and LDL cholesterol level, y, of two men are given by the points (18,69) and (27,122) . Find a linear equation that models the relationship between age and LDL cholesterol level.arrow_forwardGlobal Warming In 1990, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted that the average temperature on Earth would rise 0.3C per decade in the absence of international controls on greenhouse emissions. Let t measure the time in years since 1970, when the average global temperature was 15C. Source: Science News. a. Find a linear equation giving the average global temperature in degrees Celsius in terms of t, the number of years since 1970. b. Scientists have estimated that the sea levels will rise by 65cm if the average global temperature rises to 19C. According to your answer to part a, when would this occur?arrow_forwardTemperature Conversion Write a linear equation that expresses the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius C and degrees Fahrenheit F. Use the fact that water freezes at 0C32F and boils at 100C212F.arrow_forward
