Answer:

Part a) y=50t+70

Part b) t=2.84\ min

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Create a linear equation

Let

t ----> the time in minutes

y ---> the temperature in °F

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mt+b

where

m is the slope or unit rate of the linear equation

b is the y-intercept or initial value of the linear equation

In this problem we have

The slope m is equal to

m=50\° F\ per\ minute

The y-intercept is

b=70\° F

substitute

y=50t+70

Part b) How many minutes until the water boils at 212° F?

For y=212° F

substitute in the linear equation and solve for t

212=50t+70

50t=212-70

50t=142

t=2.84\ min

Zinaida [17]

first:76 ÷ 19/25=100

a:80 / 20 * 1 / 25 =0.16

b:80 * 5/4 =100

c:80 / 5 ÷ 1 / 4 =64

d:80 * 5/4 =100

e:80 * 4/5 ​=64

So I think both B and D should be the right answer
