formula:
y=-26 + 1.3x
Estimate the actual temperature if the temperature
Fahrenheit.

Answer 1

The actual temperature is: -6.92

Explanation:

Given

`y = -26 + 1.3x`

Required

Find x when
`y = -35`

Substitute
`y = -35` in
`y = -26 + 1.3x`

`-35 = -26 + 1.3x`

Collect like terms

`1.3x = 26 - 35`

`1.3x = -9`

Solve for x

`x =-9/1.3`

`x =-6.92`
