how can i graph this scenario
a hawk flies north 5 miles in 5 min. it turns around and flies south 3 miles in 3 min, then turns back around and flies north 2 miles in 2 min.
To graph this scenario, you will need to use a coordinate system. Let's consider a graph where the x-axis represents time in minutes, and the y-axis represents distance in miles.
First, let's break down the scenario into three segments:
Segment 1: The hawk flies north 5 miles in 5 minutes.
Segment 2: The hawk flies south 3 miles in 3 minutes.
Segment 3: The hawk flies north 2 miles in 2 minutes.
Now, let's plot the points on the graph:
1. Segment 1: Start at the origin (0,0) and move 5 units up (north) on the y-axis in 5 minutes on the x-axis. This gives us the point (5,5).
2. Segment 2: From the point (5,5), move 3 units down (south) on the y-axis in 3 minutes on the x-axis. This gives us the point (8,2).
3. Segment 3: From the point (8,2), move 2 units up (north) on the y-axis in 2 minutes on the x-axis. This gives us the point (10,4).
Now, connect the points with a line to visualize the hawk's flight path. The line should connect (0,0) to (5,5), then to (8,2), and finally to (10,4).
Your graph should show the hawk's path on the coordinate system. Remember to label the axes and provide a title for the graph.
