A furnace operates at 2,300°F. Before it can be used to extract metal from an ore, the temperature must be raised to 3,600°F. This takes place at a rate of 250°F per quarter-hour. Identify the slope and y-intercept in an equation for the temperature in terms of x quarter hours.

Enter your answer using the equation y=mx+b

hi,

i'm 75% sure the answer is 1,1 to both lines.

have a great day

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)

step-by-step explanation:

hope this !

let me know
