Sign In
Use the equation of the trend line.
Example Solution: 11 °
We have been asked to predict the average maximum daily temperature in January. Since this is based on the equation we produced, our solution will merely be one possibility. Let's recall the equation of the trend line.
x= 50
a/c* b = a* b/c
Multiply
Calculate quotient
Add terms
Therefore, when the latitude is 50° N, the average maximum daily temperature in January will be 11°.
