Answer:
) = 23 °C
ii) = 4.4° C
Step-by-step explanation:
i) The temperature on the surface of the planet.
At the surface of the planet the height is Zero
Therefore, X = 0
Thus; using the equation, the temperature, y will be;
y = 23 - 5x
y = 23 - 5(0)
= 23 °C
ii) the temperature change for every kilometer from the surface,
From the equation;
y = 23 - 5x
we take, y to be 1
Therefore;
1 = 23 -5x , subtracting 23 on both sides we get
-22 = -5x
x = -22/-5
= 4.4° C
