Heating of a liquid

A liquid with dissolved solids was placed on a stove at a certain setting and the temperature of the liquid was measured over time. The data was graphed (temperature vs time) and the slope for the best fit equation was:
f(t)=30e−0.3t
This equation describes how the liquid responds to the heat setting of the stove. In this case, f(t) is the temperature change per minute and t is the time in minutes.
