Scientists are studying the temperature on a distant planet. They find that the surface temperature at one location is 50° Celsius. They also find that the temperature decreases by 3° Celsius for each kilometer you go up from the surface. Let T represent the temperature (in Celsius), and let H be the height above the surface (in kilometers). Write an equation relating T to H, and then graph your equation using the axes below.

T(H) = -3H + 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant will be 50 degrees Celsius. The surface temperature at the location will not change. The temperature decreases by 3 degrees Celsius for every kilometer going up, so the slope will be -3 degrees.

You are trying to find the temperature on the planet, and you are changing the kilometers of altitude to find the temperature. The x-variable is your independent variable, which means that you will be changing the x-variable. So, H is your x-variable while T is your y-variable.

T = -3H + 50.

To graph, we can use the Math is Fun Function Grapher and Calculator. The graph is seen below.
