Hello!
Are you in algebra?
Here is how to solve and graph.
First, look for the slope and y-intercept of your equation.
y = - 1/2r-6
The y intercept is, -6
The slope is -1/2
the variable r, is another way to represent x, as it is just a variable.
now that you have all that information, plot -6 on the graph, -6 should be on the y- axis.
from that point, move down one space and move right two space. complete this step multiple times.
Now please look at the photo, and Here's what the graph should look like.
We can set this problem up as an algebraic equation, which we can then solve to find our answer.
We start at -3. So we can start our equation with that:
However, this doesn't represent any change in temperature, just that we start at -3. To show change, we will use the variable , where
stands for the number of hours. Each hour accounts for a change of -2.5 in degrees, meaning that we must multiply our
by -2.5. We can now add this term into our equation:
We are trying to find when we will reach -18 degrees, so we will set our entire equation equal to -18 and solve:
It will take us 6 hours, or choice A.
