Scientists are studying the temperature on a distant planet. they find that the surface temperature at one location is 30 degrees celsius. they also find that the temperature decreases by 3 degrees 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.

The required equation is .

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the surface temperature at one location is 30 degrees Celsius and the temperature decreases by 3 degrees Celsius for each kilometer you go up from the surface.

Total temperature = Initial temperature + Change in temperature

Let T represent the temperature (in Celsius), and let H be the height above the surface (in kilometers).

The temperature T on a distant planet at the height H km above the surface is defined by the equation

Therefore, the required equation is .

The table of values is

H          T

0        30

10         0

Plot these ordered pairs on the coordinate plane and connect them by a straight line.
