Question


I want to do some baking so I turn the oven to 350°F. After three minutes of warming, the temperature is 155°F. After two more minutes, the temperature is 213°F assume the temperature changes as a constant rate.

a) what equation (in y=mx+b) represents the time and the temperature of my oven? 

b) what is the meaning (in terms of the world problem) of the y-intercept? 

c) how many minutes in total (from the time I turned it in) does it take to get the oven to 350°F? Round to the nearest 10th of a minute.
