Some scientists believe that the average surface temperature of the world has been rising steadily. They have modeled the temperature by the linear function T = 0.02t + 8.25, where T is temperature in °C and t represents years since 1900.(a) What do the slope and T-intercept represent?The slope is , which means that the average surface temperature of the planet is at a rate of °C per year. The T-intercept is , which presents the average surface temperature in the year .(b) Use the equation to predict the average global surface temperature in 2040. °C

The temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is a function of the temperature in degrees Celsius (x). The following function can be used to find the temperature in Fahrenheit if we are given the temperature in Celsius.f(x)=95 x+32Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the slope of this linear equation?Group of answer choicesThe temperature increases by 5 degrees Fahrenheit for an increase of 9 degrees Celsius.The temperature in Celsius is 32 degrees more than the temperature in Fahrenheit.The temperature increases by 9 degrees Fahrenheit for an increase of 5 degrees Celsius.The temperature in Fahrenheit is 9/5 of the temperature in Celsius.If the temperature in Celsius is 0 degree, the temperature in Fahrenheit is 32 degree
