Answer: The equation that can be used to find x, is given by
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of degrees he lowered the temperature by each time be 'x'.
Temperature he starts with = 12.2° C
Temperature he stopped with = -14.61° C
According to question, it is said that he lowers the temperature 5 times by the same amount each time.
So, it becomes,
Hence, the equation that can be used to find x, is given by
9514 1404 393
Answer:
see the attachment for a graph
Step-by-step explanation:
With the given point and slope, the equation of the line can be written in point-slope form:
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
y -2 = 1/2(x +1) . . . . line with slope 1/2 through point (-1, 2)
__
Slope is the ratio of rise to run, so a slope of 1/2 means the line will rise 1 unit for each 2 units of run (to the right). If you're plotting this by hand, you can identify a second point that is 2 right and 1 up from the given point:
(-1 +2, 2 +1) = (1, 3).
You can draw your line through those two points.
