Answer: No, No, Yes, Yes, Yes

Explanation:

At 2:15 the temperature is 7°

It decreases 3° every 15 minutes ⇒ -3

Here is a table:

time | temperature

2:15 | 7

2:30 | 7 - 3 = 4

2:45 | 7 - 3 - 3 = 1

3:00 | 7 - 3 - 3 - 3 = -2

3:15 | 7 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 = -5

3:30 | 7 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 = -8

Do you see a pattern? This can be written as:

7 + (-3) + (-3) + (-3) + (-3) + (-3) + (-3)

7 - (3)(5)

7 + 5(-3)
