Step-by-step explanation:
I don't see Wen's work, but I'll show you mine!
We can create a set of coordinates for each of these sets of data, where x is the time in hours, and y is the number of degrees in Fahrenheit.
At time 0, the temp is 0: (0, 0)
5.75 hours late, the temp is -15.5: (5.75, -15.5)
We can find the change in temp per hour by using the slope formula, since slope is, after all, the rate at which something is changing.
That is rounded to the tenths place from -2.695652174 so you can round it however you need. What the interpretation of this number is is that temp is falling at a rate of 2.7 degrees F per hour.
