Triangle ABC and DEF are shown. A is at negative 2, 1. B is at negative 2, 4. C is at 1, 1. D is at 4, 2. E is at 4, 4. F is at 6, 2.

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.

5.762159

step-by-step explanation:

it would be 9 because when it is the nine is over five so that would mean it rounds up to 90 or 9

the correct answer is c) 2.
