Data were recorded for the temperature of a cup of coffee over a 30 minute period. It is known that the temperature of hot coffee will cool to room temperature following an exponential model.
Which of the following would linearize the data for temperature and minutes?
Minutes, Temperature

Minutes, In(Temperature)

In(Minutes), Temperature

In(Minutes),

In(Temperature)

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)

tried on you are knowing that we can't leave the picture in the graph ok no problem now you need to send it in the question group
