A weather team records the weather each hour after sunrise one morning in May. The hours after sunrise and the temperature in degrees Celcius are in the table below.[br][br]Can the temperature 0–7 hours after sunrise be represented by a linear function? If yes, find the equation of the function.

[list=1][br][*]Create a scatter plot of the data.[br][*]Determine if the data can be represented by a linear function.[br][*]Draw a line to estimate the data set.[br][*]Find the equation of the line.[br][/list][br][br]This applet is provided by Walch Education as supplemental material for the [i]CCGPS Coordinate Algebra[/i] program.
