Room 206 presented to the hospital with lower back pain due to her sickle cell anemia. She was treated a few days ago and went home. Her grandmother brought her back due to recurrent lower back pain. The grandmother reported how she has not had a bowel movement in a few days. Room 206 is currently taking MiraLax for her constipation, and Dilaudid for her pain.

When this equation was plugged into a graphing calculator, or in this case Excel, the graph with the scattered points and the first line looks like this.
