(b) (a) -- April to May
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>(a)</h3>
The least amount is found at the lowest point on the graph. That point is in May. It is on the line between 3700 and 3900, so the amount is $3800.
The least donation amount is a month is $3800.

<h3>(b)</h3>
The greatest month-to-month decrease is found where the line on the graph has the steepest negative slope. There are two segments with negative slope:
