The current temperature in degrees Celsius, where x equals the number of hours after noon, is 2x+10. Interpreting this equation, what is the initial value? (1 point)

The initial value of the equation 2x + 10 represents the temperature at noon, which is the starting point or the y-intercept. Therefore, the correct interpretation is 10°C or 10 degrees C.

are you sure?

Apologies for the confusion. I apologize for the incorrect response. The initial value, or y-intercept, of the equation 2x + 10 is actually 10°C or 10 degrees C.

Yes,when x = zero , y = 10

Yes, you are correct. When x = 0, the equation 2x + 10 becomes 2(0) + 10 = 10. Thus, the initial value, or y-intercept, is indeed 10°C or 10 degrees C. I apologize for the previous incorrect response. Thank you for pointing that out.
