Question

Brittany was tracking the increasing temperature in the morning. At 8 a.m., it was 68 degrees Fahrenheit. At 10 a.m., it was 74 degrees Fahrenheit. If Brittany made the function f(x) = 3x + 44, what would the 44 represent?

Answer 1

36 is the y intercept, the value for the function when x = 0. In this function the x's are the times and the y's are the temperatures. so in this scenerio, when x = 0, the time would be midnight
