The graph shows the depth, y, in meters, of a shark from the surface of an ocean for a certain amount of time, x, in minutes:A graph is titled Distance Vs. Time is shown. The x axis is labeled Time in minutes and shows numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The y axis is labeled Distance from Ocean Surface in meters. A straight line joins the points C at ordered pair 0,66, B at ordered pair 1, 110, A at ordered pair 2, 154, and the ordered pair 3, 198.Part A: Describe how you can use similar triangles to explain why the slope of the graph between points A and B is the same as the slope of the graph between points A and C. (4 points)Part B: What are the initial value and slope of the graph, and what do they represent? (

We are given a graph that shows the depth in meters (y) as a function of the time in minutes (x).

Part A:

Points A, B, and their projection in the point (2, 110) form a similar triangle with the triangle formed by points A, C, and the point (2, 66).
