Question

The graph shows the amount of rain that falls in a given amount of time.

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 10) ← 2 points on the graph

m = $\frac{10-5}{4-2}$ = $\frac{5}{2}$

This means that 5 mm of rain falls every 2 hours

Answer 2

Slope is 5/2 and 5 mm of rain falls every 2 hours.
