Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The temperature at a given altitude is
y = 36 - 3x
The temperature on the surface of the planet is the point (0,t) where t is the temperature for the given height.
y = 36 - 3*0
y = 36
So at the surface of the planet is 36 degrees C.
======================
Effectively it is the slope of the equation which is - 3
So ever km going up will mean a loss of 3 degrees. I think they want you to write -3
