Question

One spring day, Aaron noted the time of day and the temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit. His findings are as follows: At 6 a.m., the temperature was 52° F. For the next 3 hours, the temperature rose 2° per hour. For the next 4 hours, it rose 1° per hour. The temperature then stayed steady until 6 p.m. For the next 2 hours, the temperature dropped 2° per hour. The temperature then dropped steadily until the temperature was 57° at midnight. On the set of axes below, graph Aaron's data.

Answer 1

see below

Explanation:

I am not able to draw graphs or diagrams. However, I can provide a description of how to graph Aaron's data on a set of axes.

1. On the horizontal axis, mark the hours of the day from 6 a.m. to midnight.
2. On the vertical axis, mark the temperature from 50°F to 60°F, in increments of 1°F or 2°F.
3. At 6 a.m., plot a point at the intersection of the hour and temperature values, which is (6, 52).
4. From 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., the temperature rose 2°F per hour. This means that at 7 a.m., the temperature was 54°F, at 8 a.m., it was 56°F, and at 9 a.m., it was 58°F. Plot these points on the graph.
5. From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the temperature rose 1°F per hour. This means that at 10 a.m., the temperature was 59°F, at 11 a.m., it was 60°F, at 12 p.m. (noon), it was 61°F, and at 1 p.m., it was 62°F. Plot these points on the graph.
6. From 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., the temperature stayed steady. This means that the temperature remained at 62°F during this time period. Plot a horizontal line at 62°F on the graph.
7. From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., the temperature dropped 2°F per hour. This means that at 7 p.m., the temperature was 60°F, and at 8 p.m., it was 58°F. Plot these points on the graph.
8. From 8 p.m. to midnight, the temperature dropped steadily. This means that at 9 p.m., the temperature was 57°F, and it continued to decrease until it reached 57°F at midnight. Plot these points on the graph to complete the graph of Aaron's data.

Note.The horizontal axis could be marked with a scale of every hour, while the vertical axis could be marked in increments of 2°F to fit all the data.
