Zane is a dangerous fellow who likes to go rock climbing in active volcanoes. One time, when he was
20
20
20
meters below the edge of a volcano, he heard some rumbling, so he decided to climb up out of there as quickly as he could. He managed to climb up
4
4
4
meters each second and get out of the volcano safely.
\newline
Graph the relationship between Zane's elevation relative to the edge of the volcano (in meters) and time (in seconds).
