Answer:
Please see attached image for the graph
Step-by-step explanation:
To graph the elevation versus time, we start by plotting the first point at time zero (when the climb begins) when Zane is 20 meters below the edge (-20 meters). This corresponds to the point (0, -20).
One second later (1 in the horizontal axis), Zane has moved up 4 meters, now reaching -16 meters. This is the point (1, -16) on the graph.
One second later at time 2 seconds, he is another 4 meters up which corresponds to the point (2, -12) on the graph.
you can go on like this plotting more points on the graph.
Please see the attached image that illustrates this and shows the appropriate line that represents Zane's position versus time (pictured in red)
To find the slope,we can use the point-slope form:
Where m is the slope.
In this case,the equation would be:
-9-2 = m(1-(-3))
-11 = m(1+3)
-11 = 4m
m = -11/4
Therefore the slope is -11/4.
Hope it helps!
Where m is the slope.
