Answer:

Ok, since this is not a multiple choice question, I'll tell you how I would write it.

Explanation:

It stopped snowing for 10 to 12 hours after the storm and then started snowing again. This is because you can see that the y value (amount of snow on the ground in inches) has no change between 10 to 12 hours after the storm began.

For the second part, Think of the independent variable as the cause(its value is independent of other variables) and the dependent variable as the effect, essentially the value that depends on changes in the independent variable. In this case it tells you that the perimeter of a square depends on the length, so that means that the length is independent and the perimeter of the square is dependent. So, the dependent variable is the perimeter, because the perimeter of a square depends on the length.

A function relating these variables is K(x) = y since the dependent variable (y) depends on the independent variable (x)

Now for the last part that says So K(5) = ___ meaning if 5 ___ I don't really understand what it is asking for, since K(x) = y then K(5) would equal whatever y is when x is 5, but k(5) could also equal 5k if we were just evaluating.
