Which situation would be best represented by a linear function? The temperature of a glass of ice water increases by a factor of 1.05 until it reaches room temperature. Wind chill temperature decreases at a greater rate for a low wind velocity and decreases at a lower rate for a high wind velocity when the temperature is 10° Fahrenheit. The outside temperature decreases at a constant rate per hour between sunset and sunrise. The body temperature of a person with pneumonia increases rapidly and then decreases as an antibiotic takes effect.
