Answer:
The pizza heats up an average of 7.50 degrees per minute
Explanation:
The table shown
Time (minutes) Temperature (degrees Celsius)
1 2.52
7 47.547
13 92.592
Since the pizza was heated at a constant rate, we can model the experiment as a line, where the slope represents how fast the pizza was heated
Slope
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Let
(x1,y1) = (7, 47.547)
(x2,y2) = (13, 92.592)
m = (92.592 - 47.547)/(13-7)
m = 7.5075
The pizza heats up an average of 7.50 degrees per minute
