Make a graph that plots the concentration of hydrolyzed nitrocefin (in μM) against time (in seconds) using Excel, R, SPSS or other computable software. Where appropriate, include a trendline that shows the linear range on your graph. Include the equations for the trendlines and the R2 value on the graph. Your graph should also include a title and appropriate titles for the x- and y-axes, with units included where appropriate. To determine the initial velocity of a possible insert in this experiment, you must determine what the linear range is in these data. Based on your graph, which time points represent a suitable linear range?
The concentration of hydrolyzed nitrocefin at each time point for an experiment is given below.

1.5 | 17.6 |
2 | 23.51 |
2.5 | 29.58 |
3 | 35.31 |
3.5 | 39.73 |
4 | 44.5 |
4.5 | 48.18 |
5 | 50.05 |
5.5 | 52.72 |
6 | 54.01 |
6.5 | 55.06 |
7 | 55.65 |
7.5 | 56.39 |
8 | 56.74 |
8.5 | 57.49 |
9 | 58.03 |
9.5 | 58.61 |
10 | 58.69 |
