The temperature at 12 am was 44 degrees. The temperature dropped steadily for the next 8 hours to reach the daytime low of 20 degrees. What was the temperature at 6 am?

62 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Points (12,440 and (20,20)

Slope = -3

Equation of line: y - 44 = -3(x - 12)

Plug in x = 6 to get y = 62.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x^2 + y^2 = 1024

discussion:

the equation of a circle with center (h,k) and radius "r" is

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2.

in our case

(x-0)^2 + (y-0) ^2 = 32^2 = 1024

you,
