Asked by alissa from snowden

In the warm-up phase, the output production of a machine increased at a steady rate. It then began producing at a constant rate. When it neared production goal, it automatically decreased the production rate as it cooled off. Which graph best represents the relationship between the production (p) as a function of time (t)?

The graph that shows a straight upward-sloping segment, then a horizontal (flat) segment, then a straight downward-sloping segment.

Reason: warm-up = steady (linear) increase, operating = constant output (flat), cool-off = decreased output (linear decline).
