Answer:
Decreases by 2 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression that describes temperature as a function of latitude is:

This equation represents a linear relationship between latitude and temperature in a way that an increase in latitude causes a decrease in temperature. The magnitude of this decrease is quantified by the slope of the linear equation, which is -2. Therefore, the estimated temperature decreases by 2 degrees when latitude is increased by one.
The answer is 1224. You do 70.5 + 65.5, divided by two, then you take that answer and multiply by 18 to get 1224
9 - 18
5 - 10

Answer: choice A) 7017
==========================================================
Work Shown:
The first term is a_1 = 24 and we go up by 7 each time.
The common difference is d = 7
The nth term formula we'll use is
a_n = a_1 + (n-1)*d
a_n = 24 + (n-1)*7
----------
The 1000th term corresponds to n = 1000
Replace every n with 1000
Then use the order of operations (PEMDAS) to simplify
a_n = 24 + (n-1)*7
a_1000 = 24 + (1000-1)*7
a_1000 = 24 + (999)*7
a_1000 = 24 + 6993
a_1000 = 7017
