The y-intercept represents the initial temperature of the liquid before cooling and the slope represent the changes in temperature for every m minutes.
y = 100 - 5m
where
y = temperature in degree Celsius
m = cooling for number of minutes
Using the slope intercept equation,
<h3>Slope intercept;</h3>
y = mx + b
where
m = slope
b = y-intercept
Therefore,
y - intercept = 100
slope(m) = 5
Therefore, the y-intercept represents the initial temperature of the liquid before cooling and the slope represent the changes in temperature for every m minutes.
