Question

Jamila has a weather station in her backyard. She uses a rain gauge to track the total rainfallduring two storms.1) Jamaal graphs the function describing Mondays rainfall. Is the graph liner or non-liner how do you know2) what is the real word meaning of the slope of the graph?3) next Jamal graph the function describing Thursday’s rainfall is the graph line or an non-linear? how do you know?4) what does the Y intercept of the graph of Monday store mean does the Y intercept of the graph of Thursday storm have the same meaning

Answer 1

The graph will be a linear graph

Sine, Jamila is using a rain gauge to track the total rainfall, then the graph will be linear base on the readings of the rain gauge

Slope = Rise / Run
