You can put this solution on YOUR website! The intercept is at 72 degrees where t=0 The slope is -2 degrees/hour, because after 1 hour, it is 2 degrees less, after 2 hours, 4 degrees less, after 4 hours, 8 degrees less.
 y=-2x+72
 
  Tick marks are 10 degrees on the y-axis and 1 hour on the x-axis.
