Scientists are studying the temperature on a distant planet. Let y represent the temperature (in degrees Celsius).
Let x represent the height above the surface (in kilometers). Suppose that x and y are related by the equation =y−235x .
Answer the questions below. Note that a change can be an increase or a decrease.
For an increase, use a positive number. For a decrease, use a negative number.
What is the temperature change for each kilometer we go up from the surface?
