One spring day, Bilquis noted the time of day and the temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit. Her findings are as follows: At 6 a.m., the temperature was 52° F. For the next 4 hours, the temperature rose 1° per hour. For the next 5 hours, it rose 2° per hour. The temperature then stayed steady until 6 p.m. For the next 2 hours, the temperature dropped 3° per hour. The temperature then dropped steadily until the temperature was 57° at midnight. On the set of axes below, graph Bilquis's data.
I'm sorry, but I am unable to directly graph data for you. However, I can provide you with the steps to graph Bilquis's data:
1. Start by labeling the x-axis with time in hours and the y-axis with temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Plot the point (6, 52) to represent the temperature at 6 a.m.
3. From 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., create a line that increases gradually by 1° per hour. Plot the points (7, 53), (8, 54), (9, 55), and (10, 56) to represent this increase.
4. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., create a line that increases more rapidly by 2° per hour. Plot the points (11, 58), (12, 60), (1, 62), (2, 64), and (3, 66) to represent this increase.
5. The temperature remains steady from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., so create a flat line at 66° during this time.
6. From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., create a line that decreases by 3° per hour. Plot the points (7, 63) and (8, 60) to represent this decrease.
7. From 8 p.m. to 12 a.m., create a line that decreases steadily until the temperature reaches 57° at midnight. Plot the points (9, 57) and (12, 57) to represent this decrease.
Once you have plotted all the points, connect them with straight lines to create the line graph representing Bilquis's data.
