To graph Genesis's temperature data, we will break the information down into specific time intervals and temperatures. Below are the steps for plotting the data along a timeline:
-
Starting Point:
- Time: 6 a.m.
- Temperature: 50° F
-
First Interval (6 a.m. to 10 a.m.):
- For the next 4 hours (from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.), the temperature rises by 2° per hour:
- 6 a.m.: 50° F
- 7 a.m.: 52° F
- 8 a.m.: 54° F
- 9 a.m.: 56° F
- 10 a.m.: 58° F
- For the next 4 hours (from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.), the temperature rises by 2° per hour:
-
Second Interval (10 a.m. to 12 p.m.):
- For the next 2 hours (from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.), the temperature rises by 3° per hour:
- 11 a.m.: 61° F
- 12 p.m.: 64° F
- For the next 2 hours (from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.), the temperature rises by 3° per hour:
-
Steady Interval (12 p.m. to 6 p.m.):
- From 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. (6 hours) the temperature remains steady at 64° F.
-
Third Interval (6 p.m. to 10 p.m.):
- For the next 4 hours (from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.), the temperature drops by 2° per hour:
- 7 p.m.: 62° F
- 8 p.m.: 60° F
- 9 p.m.: 58° F
- 10 p.m.: 56° F
- For the next 4 hours (from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.), the temperature drops by 2° per hour:
-
Fourth Interval (10 p.m. to 12 a.m.):
- The temperature continues to drop until it reaches 55° F by midnight. From 10 p.m. to midnight (2 hours), the temperature drops from 56° F to 55° F, which is a drop of 1° per hour:
- 11 p.m.: 55° F
- 12 a.m.: 55° F
- The temperature continues to drop until it reaches 55° F by midnight. From 10 p.m. to midnight (2 hours), the temperature drops from 56° F to 55° F, which is a drop of 1° per hour:
Summary of Temperature Data Points:
| Time | Temperature (°F) | |----------|-------------------| | 6 a.m. | 50 | | 7 a.m. | 52 | | 8 a.m. | 54 | | 9 a.m. | 56 | | 10 a.m. | 58 | | 11 a.m. | 61 | | 12 p.m. | 64 | | 1 p.m. | 64 | | 2 p.m. | 64 | | 3 p.m. | 64 | | 4 p.m. | 64 | | 5 p.m. | 64 | | 6 p.m. | 64 | | 7 p.m. | 62 | | 8 p.m. | 60 | | 9 p.m. | 58 | | 10 p.m. | 56 | | 11 p.m. | 55 | | 12 a.m. | 55 |
Graphing Instructions:
- Draw the axes, labeling the x-axis with the time from 6 a.m. to 12 a.m. (midnight) and the y-axis with the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
- Plot each of the points listed in the table above.
- Connect the points according to the temperature changes in each time interval, ensuring to use straight lines for constant temperature periods and gradual slopes for increasing or decreasing temperature.
- Ensure to label important points and intervals on the graph for clarity.
