At work Bret must check and record the internal temperature of the freezer on an hourly basis when working properly the temperature should remain constant over time. What word describes the slope of a line showing the temperature of the freezer as a function of time in hours when the freezer is working properly

The slope of the line will be ZERO.

From the question given above, we are told that when the freezer is working perfectly that the temperature will remain constant over time. This means that if the graph of temperature and time is drawn, the slope of the graph will be constant from one point of the graph to the other, which means that the values will cancel each other out and will be zero.

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.
