Question 83717
Write a linear relationship that describes the outside 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. 
--------------------
T(h) = 3(h-8) + 76
This means "The termperature h hours after 8:00 is 3 times the number 
of hours + 76".
-------------------
A linear relationship is one that can be written in the form y = mx+b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the graph of the equation.
