The graph shows that the temperature of the drink dropped to -10 degrees in the freezer, but then gradually increased after it was taken out. After about 110 minutes, the temperature of the drink reached 70 degrees, indicating that the drink had been sitting on the kitchen counter for too long and had warmed up to room temperature. Therefore, the temperature in the kitchen would be around 70 degrees.
