How can your write an equation for in slope-intercept form when you have no other numbers besides depth? I'm not really following. I understand how the rays are to be drawn but not how to get the equations from that drawing.

So as the rays go into the first material they are refracted. The ray that merges into the benzene from the air is refracted toward the normal because n of benzene > n of air. Then as that ray merges into the water is is refracted toward the normal because n of benzene > n of water. The path...
