Let y be the temperature
Let m be the rate of temperature drop in degrees per hour
Let x be the number of hours elapsed since 8PM
The initial temperature (at x = 0) is 0
y = mx
Four hours from 8 PM, the temperature was -16.8 degrees
-16.8 = m(4)
m = -4.2 degrees per hour
At 9PM, one hour will have elapsed.
y = -4.2(1)
y = -4.2 degrees
B, that is where the line crosses the x axis

Answer:
x=−2 or x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
x2−2x−3=5
Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.
x2−2x−3−5=5−5
x2−2x−8=0
Step 3: Factor left side of equation.
(x+2)(x−4)=0
Step 4: Set factors equal to 0.
x+2=0 or x−4=0
x=−2 or x=4
