A:
You can use a software like Microsoft Excel just like I did to aid you with this problem. All you gotta do is plot the x values (time) against the y values (height). The graph is shown in the attached picture.
a. From the graph, you can see that the trendline is a line. This means that there is a linear relationship between time and height.
b. You can use Excel to construct the trendline and find its corresponding equation. From the picture, we can see the equation to be y = x + 5. Let's substitute the variables. This equation would now be specified to h = y + 5.
