Question

hello I'm stuck on this problem can you please help me I need to know the equation but mostly I'm confused on where to plot the dots on the graph to make my line

Answer 1

The temperature on the surface detected by the scientist is 40 degrees.

The magnitude of the temperature change as height increases is - 3 degrees.

Assuming,

`\begin{gathered} H\text{ = Height above the surface.} \\ T\text{ = Temperature at certain height.} \end{gathered}`

Further,

`\begin{gathered} AtH=0,T=40^0C \\ AtH=1,T=37^0C\text{ and so on.} \end{gathered}`

Therefore the required equation relating H with T is calculated as,

`T\text{ = 40 - 3H}`

For the graphical representation,

Consider H on the x axis and T on Y axis.
