Scuba Diving

As you dive deeper and deeper into the ocean, the pressure of the water on your body steadily increases. The pressure at the surface of the water is 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi). The pressure increases at a rate of 0.445 psi for each foot you descend. Write an equation to represent the pressure as a function of the depth for every 20 feet you descend until you reach a depth of 60 feet.

Answer: The function can be representedby the equation

             P=14.7+0.445d, where d≥0 and d≤60.

Question 1) Make an input-output table for the function. Use d=0, 20, 40, and 60.

Question 2) Draw a graph that represents the function.

Please help. Thanks

You drew your own graph for the other one so youcan probably work it out for this one too.

What say you?
