Your company is considering various locations for expansion. It is your job to check out the various areas and the friendliness for business. One of the factors of interest is the average temperature.
As you start your drive, the first electronic sign you see states that the temperature is 22.0 °C.
You are not very familiar with this temperature scale. As you drive 10 miles east, the temperature is now listed as 69.8 °F.
The next temperature, out another 10 miles, is 20.0 °C. It seems that temperature is declining with distance traveled to the east.
However, you cannot tell, unless you are able to convert from one temperature scale to another.
Converting from C to F
To do so, you will need to solve a linear equation.
The linear equation that relates °C to °F is as follows:
°F = 1.8 °C + 32.0
Provide a plot of temperature versus distance east.
HINT: Let temperature be the “x” and distance be the “y”. Use the table given to provide the (x,y) pairs for you to plot.
