Off on a tangent (or a sine, anyway)

I'm working on something that's taxing my limited knowledge of trig
functions, so forgive me if my terminology is a little messed up:
  I need to graph a sine function with a wavelength of 324 and an amplitude
of 120 passing through point (0,180) at a maximum and (162,0) at a minimum.
I've been messing around with some graphing software, but I can't get it
quite right.  Can anyone help one of the math-illiterate?
  Thanks a whole bunch!

(...) I'm a little rusty myself, but there are bits and pieces here that don't quite add up, I think. Having a wavelength of 324 (I'm assuming you mean degrees, although you without stating degrees normally means radians) in which case your sin (...)
