Question

Jamila has a weather station in her backyard. She uses a rain gauge to track the total rainfallduring two storms3) next Jamilia a graph the function describing thursdays rainfall is this graph liner or non-liner? how do you know?4) what does the Y intercept of the graph on Mondays storm mean? does the Y intercept of the graph of Thursday storm have the same meaning?

Answer 1

a) It's a linear function because if time increases, precipitation increases. I'll graph it. On the graph we observe that the points form a line.

b) Both intercepts have the same meaning.

It means the amount of water (rain) at time = 0, when it still does not started to rain.
