The length L (in centimeters) of a copper rod is a linear function of its Celsius temperature C. In an experiment if L =124.942 when C =20 and L =125.134 when C =110, express L in terms of C.

Assuming:

C along the x-axis and L along the y-axis


Given:


Points (20, 124.942) and (110, 125.134) in CL plane.


Concept Used:


The equation of the line passing through the two points ( x1, y1) and ( x2, y2)


To find:


The equation of L in term of C.


Explanation:


L is a linear function of C, the equation of the line passing through (20, 124.942) and(110, 125.134) is


Formula used:








Hence, the equation of L in term of C is


11
