What we know:
12 hour period from 8pm to 8am
temperature dropped from 8°F to 16°F from 8pm to 8am
We need to find temperature at 4 am.
We can start by setting up points:
8pm is are starting point with 8°F, we can express it as (0,8), 0 represents initial time from 0 to 12 hour span.
8am is the ending point with 16°F, we can express it as (12,16), 12 represents the end time of 0 to 12 hours span.
We will use these points to find slope.
slope=m=(16-8)/(12-0)=8/12=2/3
Now, we can set up an expression to find any temperature at a specific time. Aslo, x represents the hours not the the specific time of 4am. We will use 8 since 4am is the 8th hour of the 12 hour span. Using slope of 2/3 and the y intercept of (0,8) since we were already at 8°F at the initial time of 0 we have the function:
f(x)=2/3x+8
f(8)=2/3(8)+8= 40/3≈13.3°
To write 12 times the quantity 15 minus a number d in algebraic expression is 12 (15− d). Algebraic expression is an expression built up from integer constants, variables, and the algebraic<span> operations.
I really hope this helps! :></span>
What is the questions please?
Answer:
12.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: y-intercept: (0, -0.7) and x-intercept: (-1.2, 0)
Recall: The coordinate of a point is always written as (x,y).
Look to the x- and y-axis and see where there's a point that's exactly on it; that'll be your x- and y-intercept.
The point (0, -0.7) is on the y-axis, so that's your y-intercept. The point (-1.2, 0) is on the x-axis, so that's your x-intercept.
