A meteorological model gives the ground temperature (in ∘ ⁣C^{\circ}\!\text{C}) at a desert site as T(r)=25−2rT(r)=25-2r, where rr (in kilometers) is the distance from a heat source. A hiker moves away from the source along a straight path so that r(t)=3t+4r(t)=3t+4, where tt is the time in hours since noon. Determine dTdt\dfrac{dT}{dt} at t=2t=2 hours. (Units: ∘ ⁣C ⁣/h^{\circ}\!\text{C}\!/\text{h}) a) 66 b) −3-3 c) −6-6 d) −2-2
