8-12.

First quadrant, x axis labeled time in minutes, scaled in tens from 0 to 30, y axis labeled heart rate in beats per minute, scaled in twenties from 0 to 180, vertical dashed line at, x = 25, & curve with the following approximate points: starting at (0, comma 85), changing from opening up to opening down @, (15, comma 120), turning down @ (22, comma 170), continuing down & right.Sharilyn likes to exercise. When she goes to the gym she lifts weights and then does her cardio workout. To monitor the cardio part of her workout, Sharilyn uses a heart rate monitor.
