The temperature was 65 degrees at daybreak. Then it dropped two degrees per hour until dusk. This decrease in temperature can be modeled by the equation, y = -2x + 65. Using the model, what is the temperature 6 hours after daybreak?

Respuesta :

The temperature 6 hours after day break is 53 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature was 65 degrees at daybreak. Then it dropped two degrees per hour until dusk. This decrease in temperature can be modeled by the equation,

y = -2x + 65

according to this equation

y= temperature after day break

x= no of hours ( in this case 6)

So equation becomes

y= -2 (6) +65

y=  65- 12

y=   53 degrees

So the temperature 6 hours after day break is 53 degrees
