The temperature at sunrise is 16F. Each​ hour, the temperature rises 4F. Write an equation that models the temperature​ y, in degrees​ Fahrenheit, after x hours. What is the graph of the​ equation?

Answer 1

The equation that models the temperature after x hours can be written as:

y = 16 + 4x

The graph of this equation is a straight line that starts at the point (0, 16) on the y-axis and has a slope of 4, indicating that for every hour that passes, the temperature increases by 4 degrees Fahrenheit.
