Scientists are studying the temperature on a distant planet.

Scientists are studying the temperature on a distant planet. Let y represent the temperature (in degrees Celsius). Let x represent the height above the surface (in kilometers). Suppose that x and y are related by the equation y=47-5x. Answer the questions below. Note that a change can be an increase or a decrease. For an increase, use a positive number. For a decrease, use a negative number.
