Algebra.Com's Answer #229612 by nyc_function(2741) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Your graph will have points in the form (t,c).\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "STEPS:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1-select about 3 values for t (I chose t = 0...see below)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2-simplify the right side of the equation for each value selected in terms of t\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3-When you find the value of t and c, plot each point (t,c) on the coordinate plane\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4-Connect each point with a line\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==================================\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let's say that t = 0\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c = 20t + 30\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c = 20(0) + 30\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c = 0 + 30\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c = 30\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your first point to plot is (0,30).\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Can you find two more points and then follow the above steps?\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your function is a straight line.
