1. **State the problem:** We are given time and distance data for a car moving north and asked to create a line graph representing this data.
2. **Identify variables:** The independent variable is time $t$ in seconds (x-axis), and the dependent variable is distance $d$ in units (y-axis).
3. **Data points:** The points are $(0,0)$, $(1,2)$, $(2,4)$, $(3,6)$, $(4,8)$, and $(5,10)$.
4. **Determine the relationship:** Notice the distance increases by 2 units every second, indicating a linear relationship.
5. **Find the equation of the line:** The slope $m$ is change in distance over change in time:
$$m=\frac{10-0}{5-0}=\frac{10}{5}=2$$
The line passes through the origin, so the equation is:
$$d=2t$$
6. **Plotting instructions:**
- Label x-axis as "Time (s)" and y-axis as "Distance (units)".
- Use equal intervals on both axes.
- Plot the points and connect them with a straight line.
- Add a title such as "Car Distance vs Time".
This line graph visually shows the car's constant speed of 2 units per second northward.
**Final answer:** The linear function describing the data is $$d=2t$$.
