X will equal 8 and y would equal 3
No parts are manufactures is when x=0 because it is run 0 hours
y=amount of elctricity needed
y=12(0)+24
y=0+24
y=24
24 watts are used on a day when no parts are manufactured
A.
For 12 - 1,
82 - 78 = 4 degrees per hour
For 1 - 3:15,
(88 - 82) / 2.25 = 2.67 degrees per hour
For 3:15 - 4:30,
(93 - 88) / 1.25 = 4 degrees per hour
For 4:30 to 6,
(91 - 93) / 1.5 = 1.33 degrees per hour
The time intervals 12 to 1 and 3:15 to 4 had the fastest rate of change
