The temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) of a cooling object minutes after it is removed from a heat source is modeled by the equation . If the equation is graphed in the -plane, what does the -coordinate of the graph's -intercept represent?
The rate at which the object's temperature decreases each minute.
The initial temperature of the object before cooling began.
The time it takes for the object's temperature to reach 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
The temperature of the object after 1 minute of cooling.
