Answer:
t = 54m + 160
Explanation:
Input = m
Output = t
Equation of the function in slope-intercept form, is represented as t = km + b
Where,
k = slope/rate of change
b = y-intercept
Using two pairs, say, (2, 268) and (3, 322):
k = 54
Find b, by substituting m = 2, t = 268, and k = 54 into t = km + b.
Thus:
268 = (54)(2) + b
268 = 108 + b
268 - 108 = b (subtraction property of equality)
160 = b
b = 160
To find the equation of the function, substitute k = 54, and b = 160 into t = km + b.
Thus:
t = 54m + 160
