Question

At work, Brett must check and record the internal temperature of the freezer on an hourly basis. When working properly, the temperature should remain constant over time. What word describes the slope of a line showing the temperature of the freezer as a function of time in hours when the freezer is working properly?

Answer 1

Erudite1 is right it will be zero

Answer 2

The slope of the line will be ZERO.
From the question given above, we are told that when the freezer is working perfectly that the temperature will remain constant over time. This means that if the graph of temperature and time is drawn, the slope of the graph will be constant from one point of the graph to the other, which means that the values will cancel each other out and will be zero.
