a) please find the screenshot of gradient of the graph it is 2nd quadrant.

b)If time is 2.8s then displacement is 40.053

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Linear function help in association of two variables.
  • formula we use for linear equation is y = mx+c
  • Dependent variable is displacement and independent is time.
  • We have to find out the displacement if time is the x-axis.
  • To find slope m = y2-y1/x2-x1, find the intercept of the line.
  • Once you found out intercept it comes to 20.733
  • slope comes to 6.9.
  • x is the the variable to decided.
  • Every linear problem can have an intercept.
  • formula found is y = 6.9x +20.733.
