Answer:
can you write these in proper way
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

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to write the equation, you need to identify the slope and y-intercept.
1) the y intercept is what y is when x=0. According to the table, it is -2.
2) the slope is the change in the y values over the change in the x values. Notice that the y values are increasing by one for every increase in 1 in the x values, so the slope is 1/1 or 1.
3) we can then put those values into slope-intercept form which is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the intercept.
4) so the equation is y=(1)x-2 or y=x-2 (they are the same)
If a number has a decimal that is .5+, you round up. If it is .4-, you round down. So 817.502 would be 818.
