m=2.5x+17. The y-intercept represents the starting temperature of 17 degrees.
m equals 2.5 x plus 17 . The y -intercept represents the starting temperature of 17 degrees.
m=−2.5x−17. The y-intercept represents the starting temperature of 17 degrees.
m equals negative 2.5 x minus 17 . The y -intercept represents the starting temperature of 17 degrees.
m=2.5x−17. The y-intercept represents the starting temperature of −17 degrees.
m equals 2.5 x minus 17 . The y -intercept represents the starting temperature of negative 17 degrees.
m=−2.5x+17. The y-intercept represents the starting temperature of 17 degrees.
