Question 353223: An automobile's distance is given by d=30t (t in seconds, d in metres)
a) graph the function using a suitable scale and any means at your disposal
b)draw the secants from the point (2,60) to each of the points in the graph ending at t=3, 2.5, 2.1, 1.01.
c)determine the equations of eacch of the secants above
d)explain your results form part c.
Can one of the tutors please guide me on part b and c. I dont know how the graph would look like with the secants. And how should i make the scale for the graph. Thank You!
