Question

The roasting guide for a turkey suggest cooking 100 minutes plus 8 minutes per pound. Write an equation for total cooking time of pounds of turkey

Answer 1

y = 8x + 100

Explanation:

Since the cooking time of the turkey increases by 8 minutes for every pound, then that is the rate/slope. Starting at 100 minutes would be the equivalent of the turkey being 0 pounds, so this value does not change, which is our y-intercept.
