Answer:

The equation of a line is y = ax + b, where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.  

Since we have the y-intercept, all we need to do is find the slope. To find the slope, you need 2 coordinates.

The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y axis, so it is where x is 0. Since the y intercept is -2, that means the first coordinate is (0, -2)

The x-intercept is where the line crosses the x axis, so it is where y is 0. Since the x intercept is 4, that means the second coordinate is (4, 0)

Since we already have the y-intercept, all we do is put the slope in the equation: y = 1/2x - 2.

The answer to your question is 22 degrees Celsius. To figure out the problem, all you do is take the minutes( 58 and 2 and 35 sec.) and convert to seconds(3,480 and  145) Then divide 3,480 by 145 ,which equals 24. Then take 24 and add to the  final temperature, which equals 22.
