Question 1125966: Some scientists believe that the average surface temperature of the world has been rising steadily.
The average surface temperature can be modeled by
𝑇 = 0.02𝑡 + 15
where 𝑇 is temperature in °𝐶 and 𝑡 is years since 1980.
b.1 What do the slope and 𝑇-intercept represent?
b.2 Use the equation to predict the average global Surface temperature in 2030.

(1)
the slope is is the rate of change of temperature
the T-intercept is which is the temperature
when in 1980
(2)
degrees C
