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,
Melissa
