The temperature at sunrise is 49F. Each hour, the temperature rises 7F. Write an equation that models the temperature y, in degrees Fahrenheit, after x hours. What is the graph of the equation?
The equation that models the temperature y, in degrees Fahrenheit, after x hours can be represented as:
y = 49 + 7x
The graph of this equation is a straight line with a positive slope of 7. The y-intercept is 49, which represents the temperature at sunrise.
