Thread: Please help me

please help me on my homework i dont know how to solve this
Question: given T(a,m,s) = -18.37 - 0.09A+ 0.34M +0.25S , find Ta(a,m,s),Tm(a,m,s) and Ts(a,m,s)

Are these to be the partial derivatives? If not, I don't understand what "Ta", "Tm", and "Ts" mean. If so, surely, by the time you are doing partial derivatives, you are well past knowing that the derivative of a linear function is just its slope, the coefficient of the variable.
