The general equation of a straight line is y=mx+c. The m value represents the gradient while the c value represents the y-intercept. In all the graphs below irrespective of the way it is written equate to a straight line. The gradient is always 1 and thus all the graphs are parallel to each other. y=x (Blue line) This graph cuts the y axis at one y=x-2 (Red line) Adding a -2 to equation shifts the graph down to cut the y-intercept at -2. y=x+2 (Green line) Adding a +2 to equation shifts the graph up to cut the y-intercept at +2.

y+2=x (Red line) Adding a +2 to equation by the y side, changes that the equation is not written in standard form, once rearranged the same equation of y=x-2 is obtained which shifts the graph to cut the y-intercept …show more content…
The last set of equations for the parabola is the inclusion of both the p and q values. y=x^2 (Blue line). Turning point at the origin (0,0) y-1=〖(x-2)〗^2 which can also be written as y=〖(x-2)〗^2+1. (Green line) Thus the turning point is (2,1). This makes the graph shift both right of the y-axis and upwards. y+1=〖(x+2)〗^2 which can also be written as y=〖(x-2)〗^2-1. (Red line) Thus the turning point is (-2,-1). This makes the graph shift both left of the y-axis and downwards.

This set of line is that of a hyperbola. The standard form of a hyperbola is y=a/(x-p)+q where if a>0 the hyperbola will be in quadrant 1 and 3. If a1 then the function is increasing. In the equations below we can see that the p-value shifts the graph either left or right. The asymptote is the line y=q. Thus q shifts the graph up or down. To determine the reference point, which shows that the graph has shifted we can use the co-ordinates (p;a+q)

y=2^x (Blue) The asymptote is y=0 and the reference point is (0;1) y=2^(x-2) (Red) The asymptote is y=0 and the reference point has moved to (2;1) y=2^(x+2) (Green) The asymptote is y=0 and the reference point has moved to

Lab Report On Rotation Of The Sun

went back to the lab and looked at a sequence of pictures of the sun during a period of eight days (September 20, 2013- September 27, 2013) Next, we located one sunspot that appeared on every image of the sun and we traced that sunspot on a translucent piece of paper for eight days as it moved across the sun. Each day the sunspot appeared in a slightly different spot. We connect all the spots with a line and made a 3D effect by attaching a piece of paper to that latitudinal line. This represented…

Anna Garcia Case Summary

We put our simulated body in water baths of temperatures of 0 degrees, room temperature, and 50 degrees, (all degrees in Celsius) for 20 minutes and recorded on a line graph how the body cooled. We concluded that the higher the ambient temperature, the slower it takes for the body to cool. After the lab, we used the Glaister equation (98.4- measured rectal temperature/ 1.5) to determine Anna’s actual time of death. Anna’s rectal temperature was at 92.4 degrees Fahrenheit at 11:00am…
