At a pier, scientists measure the depth of the water according to the tides.  At high tide, the water depth is 8 feet.  At low tide, 6.2 hours later, the depth is 5 feet.  Calculate the sinusoidal regression equation that models this scenario.

• 1.5sin(0.507x + 1.57) + 6.5
• 0.507 sin(1.5x + 6.5) + 1.57
• y = 6.8x
• y = 6.2x + 5

Find the equation of the midline of the graph shown.

• y = 1
• y = 2
• y = 3
• y = 0
