This graph represents the linear relationship between the time in minutes and the temperature of the oven in degrees Fahrenheit. For each minute, the temperature increases at a constant rate. What do the points (4, 150) and (12, 350) represent?

The point (4, 150) means that after
minutes, the oven’s temperature was
degrees Fahrenheit.
The point (12, 350) means that after
minutes, the oven’s temperature was
degrees Fahrenheit.
Great job!
Let’s write an equation to represent this line in the form y=mx+b. Start by finding m, or the slope. What is the slope of this line? In other words, what is the change in degrees for each minute?

Great job!
Now, solve for b, or the vertical intercept. You can can substitute the x and y-values for a point on the line into the equation to help you. Solve on paper or use the calculator. Then, enter your answer on Zearn.

Let’s finish writing our equation to represent the relationship between time and the temperature of the oven. Now that we know the temperature of the oven when Derek turned it on, substitute the vertical intercept for b in our equation.

Nice!
Let’s use the equation to help us make a prediction. Remember x represents the time in minutes, and y represents the temperature of the oven. What will the temperature of the oven be after 14 minutes? Start by substituting 14 minutes for x in the equation.

1 answer
To find the temperature of the oven after 14 minutes, we will substitute \( x = 14 \) into the equation:
\[ y = 25x + 50 \]
Substituting in the value for \( x \):
\[ y = 25(14) + 50 \]
Now, we calculate \( 25 \times 14 \):
\[ 25 \times 14 = 350 \]
Now add 50:
\[ y = 350 + 50 = 400 \]
Thus, the predicted temperature of the oven after 14 minutes is:
\[ \text{y} = 400 \text{ degrees Fahrenheit} \]
