I can't see the graph, but fund the slope between t = 0 and t = 0

so 

$$slope = \frac{f(3) - f(0)}{3 - 0}$$

campbell_st · Answer

ok

so what is the value of the graph when t = 0.... its the vertical intercept...

campbell_st · Answer

when t = 3 the point is 

(3, 0)

find the point when t = 0

anonymous · Answer

(0,-3) ? @campbell_st

campbell_st · Answer

no.... where does the graph start... can you give that as a point...(0, ?)

anonymous · Answer

To be honest I'm not so sure how to do any of this

campbell_st · Answer
