212 - 48 = 164.

It is over 4 minutes so the line has a slope or rate of change of 41°F per minute

anonymous · Answer

that answer is not in the chocies

anonymous · Answer

well I don't know what else to do other than subtracting the starting and ending temperatures and then taking that difference and dividing it by the time to get the rate

smilewithmehun · Answer

it goes up 12 degrees every minute

anonymous · Answer

ok

anonymous · Answer

how is it 12 per minute. I took the boiling point of 212 and the starting temp of 48 and subtracted them to get 164. I then divided that by 4 to get 41 per minute so basically what I was doing was this:

r = d/t with d being the difference between the starting and ending temperatures

Look at the graph @caters, for each minute the Farenheit goes up 12 degrees 
60-48=12
72-60=12
84-72=12
96-84=12
