Question

The temperature was 65 degrees at daybreak. Then it dropped two degrees per hour until dusk. If x is the number of hours since daybreak, this equation represents the temperature during the day: y = -2x + 65 OR y = 65 - 2x. Use the equation to predict the temperature six hours later.
a)63
b)53
c)61
d)59

Answer 1

y=65-2x
put x = 6
y = 65 - 2(6) = 65 -12 =53 degrees
