YES THIS IS A GOOD QUESTION LET ME TRY THE ANSWER AND THEN I WILL EDIT THE ANSWER
Answer:
Slope : The rate of increase of temperature on the earth's surface is 0.02°C per year since 1900.
T-intercept : 8.5 represents the temperature in °C of the earth's surface in the year 1900.
Step-by-step explanation:
The average surface temperature of Earth rising steadily. Scientists have modeled the temperature by the equation, T = 0.02t + 8.50 where t represents years since 1900 and T is the temperature in ◦C.
Now, the slope of the model equation is 0.02 which means the rate of increase of temperature on the earth's surface is 0.02°C per year since 1900.
Again, the T-intercept i.e. 8.5 represents the temperature in °C of the earth's surface in the year 1900. (Answer)
2 years will be 80 cats (20 x 2 = 40 (year 1) and 40 x 2 = 80 (year 2))
3 years will be 160 (80 x 2 = 160)
5 years will be (160 x 2 = 320 (year 4) and 320 x 2 = 640 (year 5)) So 5 years will be 640
