For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: number of minutes
y: final temperature
We write then the equation that models the problem:

For y = 20 we have:

Clearing x:
Answer:
The temperature of the water will be 20 degree celcius after 150 minutes
Answer:
y=-3x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
concepts: y=mx+b is slope intercept equation formula
m=slope
b= y intercept
Therefore we need to find the slope and y intercept
first find slope
m=
let y2 be 2
let y1 be -4
let x2 be 1
let x1 be 3

6/-2 = -3
m=-3
slope is -3
y= -3x+ b
we need find y intercept now
just plug in (1,2) into that equation
2=-3(1)+b
b=5
y=-3x+5
