David reheats bowls of soup at the same refrigerator


temperature to 100°C by using a grill microwave oven.
He enters the soup’s volumes, to the nearest ml, and the
microwave oven automatically sets the reheating time.
David reheats 3 different amounts of soup at the same
refrigerator temperature to 100°C and wonders if there
is a relationship between the volumes and
corresponding reheating times. He graphs the 3
volumes and corresponding reheating times in the
standard (x,y) coordinate plane, as shown below, and
notices a linear relationship between these 3 points. He
finds that an equation of the line through these 3 points
is t = 0.42v + 20.
