T=(-7/12)t-2
Im calling temperature T and time t for our equation but they can just as easily be Y and X
In 12 hours time the temp decreased 7 degrees so to get the slope we went down 7 and over 12 making it -7/12 (since we went down)
The at the starting point of t=0 it’s already -2 F making that our “y intercept” T intercept in this case
y=mx +b
In our case y=T x=t m=-7/12 and b= -2
Replace them to get
T=(-7/12)t-2
