Answer

$ \frac{\partial t}{\partial y} \bigg|_{x=23} $ degrees in Fahrenheit per degree latitude

Work Step by Step

It is given that $t(x, y)$ is the mean daily temperature in °F at a longitude of x degrees and a latitude of y degrees. So if the longitude is given as 23°, and temperature is changing with respect to latitude, the rate of change is $ \frac{\partial t}{\partial y} \bigg|_{x=23} $
