Practical Linear Relationships

Interactive practice questions

The points show the relationship between water temperatures and surface air temperatures.

Loading Graph...
A graph has its horizontal axis labeled "Water temperature °C", ranging from $-5$5 to $5$5. The vertical axis is labeled "Surface air temperature °C", ranging from $-5$5 to $5$5. Both axes are marked with major tick marks at $2$2 units intervals and minor tick marks at $1$1 unit intervals. Seven points are plotted diagonally as solid dots on the graph. Starting from lower-left at $\left(-3,-4\right)$(3,4), move upward toward the upper right at $\left(-2,-3\right)$(2,3), $\left(-1,-2\right)$(1,2), $\left(0,-1\right)$(0,1), $\left(1,0\right)$(1,0), $\left(2,1\right)$(2,1), and $\left(3,2\right)$(3,2). The coordinates of the points are not explicitly labeled nor given.

Surface Air Temperature (°C) $\editable{}$ $\editable{}$ $\editable{}$ $\editable{}$ $\editable{}$ $\editable{}$ $\editable{}$
b

Continue the pattern in the table to determine the surface air temperature when the water temperature is $4$4 °C.

c

What would be the surface air temperature when the water temperature is $14$14 °C?
