It takes 14.4 minutes for the radiator fluid temperature to reach 60 degrees Fahrenheit
A function is said to be linear if it is a straight line graph and it can be represented by the equation:
y = mx + b
where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y.
Let y represent the temperature in Fahrenheit of the radiator after t minutes.
Stanley’s car is Negative 18 degrees Fahrenheit. Hence b = -18. The temperature of the fluid goes up 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit per minute. hence m = 5.4. The equation becomes:
y = 5.4x - 18
For the radiator fluid temperature to reach 60 degrees Fahrenheit:
60 = 5.4x - 18
5.4x = 78
x = 14.4 minutes
It takes 14.4 minutes for the radiator fluid temperature to reach 60 degrees Fahrenheit
