The linear plot shows how the air temperature changes with the altitude of a mountain located nearby. According to the plot, which statement is true?
Air Temperature
vs. Mountain Height
The air temperature increases about 10°C for every
1000-meter increase of altitude.

The air temperature at the base of the mountain is
about 18°C.
Air Temperature (°C)

72 is the answer to this problem

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
