Step 1 :We are given two points on the line that describes the temperature of the roast as a function of time: (20, 152) and (30, 192).
Step 2 :We can use these two points to find the slope of the line, which represents the change in temperature per minute. The slope is calculated as \(\frac{192-152}{30-20} = 4.0\).
Step 3 :Once we have the slope, we can use one of the points to find the y-intercept, which represents the temperature of the roast when it was first put in the oven. The y-intercept is calculated as \(152 - 4 \times 20 = 72.0\).
Step 4 :Therefore, the function T(m) that describes the temperature of the roast as a function of time is \(T(m) = 4m + 72\).
Step 5 :\(\boxed{T(m) = 4m + 72}\) is the final answer.
