A can of orange juice is taken from the freezer and gradually warmed.
The equation, T(x) = 3x-6 gives the Celsius temperature T of juice x minutes after it is removed from the freezer.
Find and discuss the meaning of the T-intercept (i.e., the intercept on the vertical axis).
-------------------
The T-intercept is T(0) = -6 is the temperature of the orange juice
when it is taken out of the freezer.
