Question

1. Draw a graph for the scenario below. Remember to label the axes.The level of water in a river rose rapidly during the storm then gradually decreased back to the originallevel.2. A student drew the dashed line on the graph shown and concluded

Answer 1

ANSWER and EXPLANATION

We want to draw a graph to describe the scenario given.

The x axis will be labelled as time spent by storm.

This is because the time of the storm is the independent variable. The level of water in the river depends on the time by spent by the storm.

The y axis will be laballed as level of water in the river.

This is because it is the dependent the variable.

Since the level of water rises rapidly initially, the graph will go from a low value to a high value in a short span of time.

Then it will gradually go down again since the water level dropped gradually.

The graph will look like that.
