3. A bottle of milk is taken out of a refrigerator and placed in a pan of hot water to be warmed. The increasing function $M$ models the temperature of the milk at time $t$, where $M(t)$ is measured in degrees Celsius $\left({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)$ and $t$ is the number of minutes since the bottle was placed in the pan. $M$ satisfies the differential equation $\frac{d M}{d t}=\frac{1}{4}(40-M)$. At time $t=0$, the temperature of the milk is $5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. It can be shown that $M(t)<40$ for all values of $t$. (a) A slope field for the differential equation $\frac{d M}{d t}=\frac{1}{4}(40-M)$ is shown. Sketch the solution curve through the point $(0,5)$.
