Question

question one spring day, jamar noted the time of day and the temperature, in degrees fahrenheit. during that time, the temperature rose, stayed steady, and fell, at different rates. on the set of axes below, jamar created a graph of temperature over time. how long did the temperature hold steady for?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify horizontal - line segments

On the graph, horizontal - line segments represent when the temperature is steady.

Step2: Determine time intervals

The first horizontal segment is from 9 am to 12 noon. The time difference is \(12 - 9=3\) hours. There are no other horizontal segments.

Answer:

3 hours
