The temperature at sunrise is 16F. Each hour, the temperature rises 4F. 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 after x hours can be written as:
y = 16 + 4x
The graph of this equation is a straight line that starts at the point (0, 16) on the y-axis and has a slope of 4, indicating that for every hour that passes, the temperature increases by 4 degrees Fahrenheit.
