a plan flying at an altitude of 1000 m begins to climb at a rate of 10 metres per second graph the first 10 seconds of the plane's ascent plot time on the horizontal axis and altitude on the vertical axis

so, did you do it?

Start by labeling the time axis 1..2..3....10

To graph the first 10 seconds of the plane's ascent, we need to plot time on the horizontal axis and altitude on the vertical axis.

Since the plane starts at an altitude of 1000 meters and climbs at a rate of 10 meters per second, we can determine how the altitude changes over time.

At time t = 0 seconds, the altitude is 1000 meters.
At time t = 1 second, the altitude will be 1000 + (10 * 1) = 1010 meters.
At time t = 2 seconds, the altitude will be 1000 + (10 * 2) = 1020 meters.
And so on for the first 10 seconds.

Based on this information, we can create the following table:

| Time (sec) | Altitude (m) |
|------------|--------------|
| 0 | 1000 |
| 1 | 1010 |
| 2 | 1020 |
| 3 | 1030 |
| 4 | 1040 |
| 5 | 1050 |
| 6 | 1060 |
| 7 | 1070 |
| 8 | 1080 |
| 9 | 1090 |
| 10 | 1100 |

Now, we can plot these points on a graph with time on the horizontal axis and altitude on the vertical axis. Each point on the graph will represent the time and altitude values from the table above.
