Answer

$(a)$ $T=4°C$ $(b)$ See the image below. $(c)$ The slope represents the rate of change of temperature for given depth. $x$-intercept represents the point where we have temperature $0°C$. $T$-intercept represents the temperature at the surface level.

Work Step by Step

$(a)$ $T=0.08-4$ if $x=100cm$ $T=0.08 \times 100 -4 = 8-4=4°C$ $(b)$ See the image above. $(c)$ The slope represents the rate of change of temperature for given depth. $x$-intercept represents the point where we have $0°C$. That is $50cm$ below the surface. $T$-intercept represents the temperature at the surface.
