the temperature in an experiment is increased at a constant rate over a period of time until the temperature reaches 0 degrees celsius. the equation y=5/2x-70 gives the temperature y in degrees celsius x hours after the experiment begins. Find and interpret the x- and y- intercepts.

x = 28 (So it takes 28 hours for the temperature to reach 0°C.)

y = -70 (So the temperature when the experiment begins is −70°C.)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the the x value, you remove the y value or replace it with 0.

0 = 5/2x - 70

Next you move the variable.

70 (2/5) = x           (multiply 70 by 2 to get 140 and divide that by 5)

And now you simplify to get:

28

To find the y value, you remove the x value or replace it with 0.

y =  0 - 70

And now you simplify to get:

-70

x = 28

y = -70

question: how many people can she serve?

answer: she can serve 16.66666667 people. so she can only give 16 people a complete serving.

question: does she have enough ice cream for her guests?

answer: no. explanation: she only has enough for 16 people to have a full serving. however, she can give a 17th person a partial serving.

the answer i believe is 27 units.
