Answer:

No. This is not a valid claim

Step-by-step explanation:

First we sum up the total snowfall for the 3 days as:

Monday= 15 inches

Tuesday=4.5 inches

Wednesday=6.75 inches

Total= 26.25 inches

As it is understood that there are 12 inches per foot. So we can simply multiply the number of inches it snowed during the last three days by this factor to find out.

26.25  in ×  1ft /12in ⇒

i.e. 26.25 x 1ft/12

which is 26.25ft / 12

that concludes 2.1875 ft

so it is not close to the forecaster said over 2 1/2 ft

Add them all up:

15 + 4 1/2 + 6 3/4 = 26 1/4 in.

2 ft equals 24 in.

2 1/2 ft = 30 in.

Yes, it is a valid claim.

Help please! Thanks in advance

So line b is (0,0) and (4, -3/2)

slope = m = y2-y1/ x2-x1

= -3/2 - 0 / (4-0 )= -3/8

now using point slope y-y1=m(x-x1)

m=-3/8 and point is (0,0) to make it easier
y-0 = -3/8 (x-0)
y=-3/8x

so we have the first line done, now another line is parallel to line b which means they have the same slope

line 2 has slope = m = -3/8
and point (0,-7)

using point slope again y-y1=m(x-x1)

y- (-7) = (-3/8) (x-0)

y=(-3/8)x -7

hope that helps and is right
