warm temperature corrections

Trying to work out altitudes you would expect to see at airfields like LAX where you have to capture the glide from above in ISA plus 15 temps.

i i have a calculator for cold temps which says if I were @ 5000’ -10 degrees C then my actual alt would be 4500’

What would be the actual altitude at 25 degrees C @ 5,000’?

(the relationship doesn’t seem to be linear as the temperature gets colder...so I guess it isn’t 10% / 10 degrees when the temperature gets warmer)?
