A deep freezer is accidentally unplugged, and the temperature increases to 10ºF before an employee notices and plugs the machine back in. The initial temperature of the freezer was –5ºF. The freezer remained unplugged for an estimated 3 hours. Assuming the temperature changed at a steady rate, how much did the temperature change per hour?
