40 POINTS The table shows the heights of three different rock formations that Jeremy is considering. Rewrite the equation for the line of best fit. Then use the equation to predict how long it will take to climb and come back down the three rock formations.

Type the correct answer in each box. Round your answers to the nearest hundredth.

Climb Height (feet) Time (minutes)

1 120

2 215

3 400

The equation is y+2.3x+33.2

the equation is +2.3x+33.2

relative dating involves things like higher layers are most recent than rocks lower in the sequence. this can be extended to the known sequence of fossils. rocks containing rabbit fossils are later than those containing dinosaur fossils.  

absolute dating methods mainly use radioactive elements that have known rates of decay and produce recognizable products. for example potassium 40 decays to produce argon. once a rock has solidified the argon is trapped. by measuring the argon and potassium0 you can get an accurate number for the age.  

some other methods are good for archaeological ages. dendrochronology involves recognizing the sequence of tree rings. the orientation of magnetized particles in baked clay can be used to date a fire.
