Answer:

the equation which shows the temperature over time is:

y(t)= -7+3t

Explanation:

We are given that:

On a very cold morning, it was -7°F. As the day went on, the temperature rose 3 degrees each hour.

We are asked to find the equation which shows the temperature over time

Let y be the temperature and t be the time

clearly, y depends on t

and y at t=0 is -7

y(t)= -7+3t

Hence, the equation which shows the temperature over time is:

y(t)= -7+3t
