Josephine likes to go hang gliding. she took off from a hillside at an elevation of 700 feet. during the first 5 minutes, she went down to 500 feet. then she rode for another 5 mintues up to a height of 600 feet. she then descended at a rate of 200 feet every 15 minutes until she landed.

**how would i make a graph to represent Josephine's flight?

**how many minutes did her flight take?

have your grap on the y-axis represents the height, and the x-axis represents the time.

when she goes down, draw a line going down according to the time and the elevation, and the line will go up when she goes up with the time given.

for the total time will be 5min down, 5 min up, and 15min for every 200ft down(fr.600ft), add them all together.

goodluck

i relly don't no.

To make a graph representing Josephine's flight, we can use time (in minutes) on the x-axis and elevation (in feet) on the y-axis. We can plot points on the graph to represent her changing elevation at different times during the flight.

Here is the step-by-step process to create the graph:

1. Label the x-axis as "Time (minutes)" and the y-axis as "Elevation (feet)."
2. Start by plotting the initial point at (0, 700), representing the starting elevation of 700 feet.
3. After 5 minutes, she went down to 500 feet. So, plot a point at (5, 500) on the graph.
4. After another 5 minutes, she rode up to a height of 600 feet. Plot a point at (10, 600) on the graph.
5. From here, she descended at a rate of 200 feet every 15 minutes until she landed. Calculate the number of times she rides up and down, and plot the corresponding points on the graph.
- After 5 minutes, at 15 minutes mark, she descends from 600 feet to 400 feet. Plot a point at (15, 400) on the graph.
- After 5 more minutes, at 20 minutes mark, she descends from 400 feet to 200 feet. Plot a point at (20, 200) on the graph.
- Keep descending every 15 minutes until she lands. Plot points accordingly.
6. Connect all the plotted points on the graph to create a continuous line that represents Josephine's flight.

To determine how many minutes her flight took, you need to sum up the individual time intervals it took for each segment of the flight.

In this case, the flight consisted of 3 segments:

1. The first 5 minutes when she went down from 700 feet to 500 feet.
2. The next 5 minutes when she went up from 500 feet to 600 feet.
3. The remaining time it took for her to descend from 600 feet to the ground (200 feet every 15 minutes).

Add up the time for each segment:

5 minutes + 5 minutes + time taken to descend = total flight duration.
