Q:

Suraj took a slice of pizza from the freezer and put it in the oven. The pizza was heated at a constant rate.The table compares the pizza's temperature (in degrees Celsius) and the time since Suraj started heating it (in minutes).Time (minutes) Temperature (degrees Celsius)111 2.52.52, point, 5777 47.547.547, point, 5131313 92.592.592, point, 5How fast was the pizza heated? degrees Celsius per minute

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The pizza heats up an average of 7.50 degrees per minuteStep-by-step explanation:The table shownTime (minutes) Temperature (degrees Celsius) 1                          2.527                          47.547 13                          92.592Since the pizza was heated at a constant rate, we can model the experiment as a line, where the slope represents how fast the pizza was heatedSlopem   =  (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)Let(x1,y1) = (7, 47.547)(x2,y2) = (13, 92.592)m = (92.592 - 47.547)/(13-7)m = 7.5075 The pizza heats up an average of 7.50 degrees per minute
