The slope of the line is A 2.5 B 4 C 5 D 5.5 that means that A 2.5 B 5.5 C 10 D 12 mm of rain falls every A half hour B hour C 2 hours D 3 hours

Answer 1

thats very interesting

Answer 2

The slope is 2.5 and that means that 2.5 millimeters of rain falls every hour.

Explanation:

We can clearly see that the graph is moving in a positive direction, so we know our slope will be positive. Using the rise over run technique, we will have to rise 5 and move right 2 units in order to get from the first point to the second point. 5/2 = 2.5

So every hour, 2.5 mm of rain falls.
