HELP PLEASEEE The y-intercept is the starting position at Earth's surface. The coordinates of the y-intercept are
(0, temperature at Earth's surface).
y= temperature
x=distance
3. What is the b-value of the y-intercept for your equation?
The slope is the rate of change for temperature.
If the temperature increases (gets hotter) as the distance from the surface increases, then the
slope is positive.
If the temperature decreases (gets colder) as the distance from the surface increases, then the
slope is negative.
4. What is the slope of your equation?
5. Write an equation that models the relationship between your variables.
