The current temperature in degrees Celsius, where x equals the number of hours after noon, is 2x+10 . Interpreting this equation, what is the initial value? (1 point) Responses −2°C negative 2 degrees C −10°C negative 10 degrees C 2°C 2 degrees C 10°C

Answer 1

The initial value represents the temperature at the start, which would be at noon. Since x is the number of hours after noon, plugging in x = 0 into the equation gives us the temperature at noon.

2(0) + 10 = 0 + 10 = 10°C

So, the initial value is 10°C.
