Hi Dr. Pounds,
<div>In the lab we are supposed to plot temperature as a
function of time, and see where the two trendlines meet. I was
wondering if we were supposed to estimate where they meet, or
solve for it mathematically? Thanks sir.</div>

The best thing to do is to do it mathematically. If you have the
equations for the two lines, then it should be pretty easy to set up
and solve for the x and y intersection using simultaneous equations.<br>
