Question 14975: I must find a linear equation in slope-intercept form that models the following description. I must also indicate what each variable represents.
In 1995, the average temperature on Earth was 57.7 degrees F and has increased at a rate of 0.01 degrees F per year since then.
My guess of the equation would be: y=.01x + 57.7
y=the temperature
x=number of years
