1)      1000+(X*20) plan 1        plan2= 25*x
2)      For plans 2-   25*x=1000 he would have to work 40 hrs. To make the same 1000 in plan 1 however he would have to work 80 hrs. to make more that plan 1.
3)      So for the company plan 2 would be the better deal, because you would be getting 80 hrs of work instead of 40.
but i dont understand how to do the graph on the padowan system</description>

The Fahrenheit temperature, &#x22;F,&#x22; and Celsius temperature, &#x22;C&#x22; of an object are related by a linear function. Water boils at 100 degrees C, or 212 degrees F, and freezes at 0 degrees C, or 32 degrees F.

a.) Let the Celsius temperature, C, be the independent variable and the Fahrenheit temperature, F, be the dependent variable. Determine the slope and interpret its meaning in context of the problem.

b.) Determine the linear function that gives F as a function of C.

c.) Lead boils at a temperature of 1620 degrees C. What is Fahrenheit temperature is this?

d.) Determine the Fahrenheit intercept and interpret the meaning in context of the problem?

e.) If you had a fever thermometer calibrated in Celsius degrees, what would &#x22;normal&#x22;(98.6 degrees F) be on it?

f.) If the weather forecaster says it will be 40 degrees C today, is this hot, cold, or medium?

g.) Determine the Celsius intercept and interpret its meaning in context of the problem?

h.) Sketch a graph using a reasonable domain and range?
