Details: Your company was very impressed with your results from the recent study. They have asked that you investigate another location for them and present this new promising location at the upcoming sales meeting. Again, it is your job to check out the various areas and the friendliness for business. One of the factors of interest is the average temperature.

Along the way to the new location- you find that all the temperatures provided are in °F. You will now continue your observations - that you had done previously. To do so, you will need to solve a linear equation. The linear equation that relates °C to °F is as follows:

°F = 1.8 °C + 32.0

The following data was calculated in this way:

Temperature °F Miles east from starting point
85.2
0

84.5
15

83.6
25

Your presentation must include the following:

Provide a plot of temperature versus distance east. Based on its appearance, is it a good linear model for predicting temperature as a function of distance?
Use the graph to determine the expected temperature at 75 miles east- where the company branch is located?
What challenges is your company up against in using this formula?
In what ways is the average of the temperature important for your company to consider?

//Before writing about the location for the Company for the temperature, it is essential to know about the 'Plot of temperature' versus 'Distance east'. One should know about the relationship between the temperature and distance in order to analyze the plot, effectively.//

Individual Project: Linear equation

As the linear equation which relates degree Fahrenheit to degree Celsius is given, so my first step is to solve the equation:

°F = 1.8 °C + 32.0

The equation needs to be converted into degree F because the values for plotting chart are given in degree Fahrenheit.

Suppose the temperature which has been found previously has been 22 degree Celsius. The equation could be converted by substituting the values 22 in place of C.

F = (1.8) × (22) + 32

F = 39.6 + 32

On adding the values, I have found that 22 degree ...
