in a certain year, the amount a of garbage in pounds produced after t days by an average person is given by A=1.5t

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes, then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to graph the equation for t>0?

Parth (parthkohli):

Okay, graph it. Since this is a linear function, take just two points and graph a line through them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am missing a step in my math to find the formula to graph it

Parth (parthkohli):

A = 1.5t Let's take t = 1. A = 1.5(1) = 1.5 So, our first point is (1,1.5) Let's now take t = 2. A = 1.5(2) = 3 So, the second point is (2,3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I came up with a=1.5 and t is 0

Parth (parthkohli):

Erm?

Parth (parthkohli):

Did you understand what I wrote above?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes and thsnkd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

Parth (parthkohli):

OK, so graph those two points and then pass a line through them.
