Question

Amir drove from Jerusalem down to Lowest Place on earth, the Dead Sea descending at a rate of 12 meters per minute he was at sea level after 30 minutes of driving. Graph the relationship between Aamir’s attitude relative to sea level in meters and time inminutes

Answer 1

see below for a graph

Explanation:

It is convenient to use a point-slope form of the equation of a line for graphing, since we know the slope is -12 m/min and the point is (30, 0) at sea level.

The horizontal axis is minutes; the vertical axis is meters above sea level. The graph cannot extend below -413 meters from sea level, as that is the lowest place on earth.
