Question

The air temperature is -8 °C at sunrise and rises 2 °C every hour for several hours. The air temperature

after x hours is represented by the function f(x)=2x-8.
Find the intercepts, then use the intercepts to graph the function. Complete the interpretation of the
intercepts.
x-intercept:
y-intercept:

Answer 1

x-intercept: (4,0): In 4 hours the temperature will be 0 degrees celcious

y-intercept: (0,-8): In the beggining the temperature is -8 degrees celcious.
