Dry air is moving upward. If the ground temperature is $20°$ and the temperature at a height of $2km$ is $10°c$, express the temperature $T$ in $°c$ as a function of the height $h$(in km), assuming that a linear model is appropriate. (b) Draw the graph of the function and find the slope. Hence, give the meaning of slope. (c) What is the temperature at a height of $2km$?
