Answer:
The second stove had a higher temperature when the stoves were turned off.
The first stove cooled down at a faster rate.
Step-by-step explanation:
first stove: T(t) = 180 - 2.55t can also be written as T(t) = -2.55t + 180
(180 is the y-intercept; -2.55 is the slope)
second stove = T(t) = mt + 200
(0,200) (40,130)
[tex]\frac{200 - 130}{0 - 40}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{60}{-40}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{-2}[/tex] = -1.5
T(t) = -1.5t + 200
