    The member can tolerate a temperature of 173 degrees Fahrenheit for 0 minutes.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1) Using y = mx + b we have y = - 1.5x + 173

    2) b in this equation represents the starting temperate that a person can tolerate, which would be 173 degrees at 0 minutes

    (just took the test, it is correct!)
