Question

melting ice cream
nia leaves a bowl of ice cream outside and records its temperature every 5
minutes.
question 5
4 points
if the ice cream had started at a lower temperature, how would that
affect your graph?

Explanation:

The \( y \) - intercept (the point where \( x = 0 \), which represents the initial temperature) of the graph would be lower. The overall shape of the graph (increasing then leveling off) would remain the same, but all subsequent points would be shifted downwards since the starting value is less.

Answer:

The \( y \) - intercept of the graph would be lower. The general trend (increasing then constant) would stay, but each temperature value at a given time would be less than in the original graph.
