Can you solve this graph problem?
a) what is the difference in temperatures between 7 am to 5 pm
b) which part of the day was the temperature rising the fastest a, b, c, d, or e?
a) We subtract the y coordinates of the left and right endpoints. We get 65-40 = 25
b) The fastest rising temperature will visually correspond to the steepest part of the curve. That would be region 'a'. After this interval, region b is still increasing, but not as much as the previous interval (since it's not as steep here). Then it gets less steep for region c, and d sort of flattens out as well. So during the morning hours it appears the temperature is going up the fastest.
