Question 83972: Hi! I have a question on how to work this problem. I know what the answer would be if they said what temperature would it be after 3 hours, but I do not even know what a linear relationship is.
The problem: Write a linear relationship that describes the out side temperature, T, as a function of the number of hours since 8:00am., h. At 8:00am the outside temperature was 76(degrees)F and each hour the temperature rose 3 degrees.
Thanks for your help,

You can put this solution on YOUR website! A linear function or relationship really pertains to a straight line.
y = m(x - x1) + y1
Side Temp (T) = Slope (3) (h - 0) + 76
T = 3h + 76
