The temperature is 17 degrees Fahrenheit at 8:00 p.m. It is expected to drop 2.5 degrees as each hour passes. Write the linear equation that represents this scenario and explain what the y -intercept represents.(1 point) Responses 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 negative 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%C2%A0−17 degrees. m equals 2.5 x minus 17 . The y -intercept represents the starting temperature of%C2%A0 negative 17 degrees. m=2.5x+17. The y-intercept represents the startin
The correct linear equation that represents this scenario is m = -2.5x + 17. The y-intercept of 17 represents the starting temperature at 8:00 p.m. of 17 degrees Fahrenheit. As each hour passes, the temperature is expected to drop by 2.5 degrees.
