How to plot y=1/2x + 2

1 answer:

3 0

2 is your Y-intercept. So at positive 2, your line will cross the Y axis. and 1/2x is your slope. Plot your first point at positive 2 on the y axis and go up 1 and over 2 (to the right)

At an ocean depth of 8 meters, a buoy bobs up and then down 5 meters from the ocean's depth. Sixteen seconds pass from the time

Answer:

See attached for a graph

Step-by-step explanation:

We're going to plot sea level as y=0 and a depth of 8 meters as y=-8.

The problem statement tells you the initial point (x=0) is at normal ocean depth (y=-8), so the first point you put into your sine tool is ...

(x, y) = (0, -8)

The buoy takes 16 seconds to go from a high point to a low point, so the time to the first high point is half that, or x=8 seconds. That high point is 5 meters above its average depth, so is at y=-3.

The second point you will put into your sine tool is ...

(x, y) = (8, -3)
