Question

The table below shows the temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, in Corey's backyard for 4 hours.
Time

Temperature
( in ∘F )
0 48
1 50
2 53
3 58
Which of the following best describes the relationship between temperature and time?

Answer 1

The temperature increases as time increases, and the rate of increase itself grows. The temperature rises by 2°F (0→1), 3°F (1→2), and 5°F (2→3), so the increases get larger — not a constant (linear) rate.
