The ground temperature at an airport is 16 °C. The temperature decreases by 5.6 °C for every increase of 1 kilometer above the ground. What is the temperature outside a plane flying at an altitude of 5 kilometers?

0 km = 16

1km = 16 - 5,6 = 10,4

2km = 10,4 - 5,6 = 4,8

3km = 4,8 - 5,6 = -0,8

4km = -0,8 - 5,6 = -6,4

5km = -6,4 - 5,6 = -12
