Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph,

• After 1 hour passed, 2 inches of show fell
• After 5 hours passed, 10 inches of snow fell
• And so on

This means, that points (1,2), (5,10) lie on the graph. This graph passes through the origin, so its equation is

$y=kx,$

where k is the slope

Find k:

$2=k\cdot 1\\ \\k=2,$

so the equation is $y=2x$ and the slope is k = 2.

The slope means how many inches of snow fell in 1 hour.

In 1 hour, 2 inches of snow fell.
