Answer: The plot of the minutes after the first height is as follows:
Assuming we could plot the data using a linear equation, then we could have the following:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y(x)=mx+b\rightarrow(1) \\ \\ m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \end{gathered}[/tex]
The attempt at mapping data to the equation (1) , leads to the following:
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{1.1-0.4}{347-85}=\frac{0.7}{262}=0.003 \\ \\ m=0.003 \\ \\ b=0.2 \\ \\ \therefore\rightarrow \\ \\ y(x)=(0.003)x+0.2\rightarrow(2) \end{gathered}[/tex]
