2) Plot vs t on simple graph paper. Draw the line of best fit through visual
observation. Alternatively use Excel or any other spread sheet to plot the data and a trend line
fit.
3) Determine the intercept A and slope B. If using Excel turn on the equation option; from
there get the intercept and the slope.
