Question

The temperature is 38 and is expected to rise at a rate of 3 per hour.

Which equation can be used to model the situation?

Answer 1

y=3*x+38,
where 38 is our start value, that is y(0)=38, and x is the number of hours.

Answer 2

Starting temp= 38
Increase of 3 an hour
38 + 3h= current temp
Where h = hours
