The temperature at a ski resort was 12°f at 5: 00 a. m. if the temperature increased by 1.5°f each hour, what would be the temperature at 12 noon?

Let x represents the time and y represents the temperature.

Now let x=0 is corresponds to 12 AM. Thus, 5 AM is corresponds to x=5. And we have been given that temperature at a ski resort was 12°F at 5:00 A.M. Thus, we have a point (5,12)

Now, the rate is given by

Using the point slope form of a line, the equation of line is given by

Now, we have to find the value for y for x=12

On substituting the value of x in the above equation, we get

Therefore, the temperature at 12 noon is 22.5°F

12/11c

or

12

c

11

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.
