Concept explainers
Meteorologists often measure the intensity of a tropical storm or hurricane by the maximum sustained wind speed and the minimum pressure. The relationship between these two quantities is approximately linear. Hurricane Katrina had a maximum sustained wind speed of 150 knots and a minimum pressure of 902 mb (millibars). Hurricane Ophelia had maximum sustained winds of 75 knots and a pressure of 976 mb. (See Example 2.)
a. Find the slope of the line between these two points. Round to one decimal place.
b. Using the slope found in part (a) and the point
c. Hurricane Dennis had a maximum wind speed of 130 knots. Using the equation found in part (b), predict the minimum pressure.
