Scientists are studying the temperature on a distant planet. They find that the surface temperature at one location is 50 degrees Celsius. They also find that the temperature decreases by 5 degrees Celsius for each kilometer you go up from the surface.
Let T represent the temperature (in Celsius), and let H be the height above the surface (in kilometers). Write an equation relating T to H.
