  no, when x is even, y will be an integer, not a fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

We observe that the coefficient of x is 1/2, so the x-term will be an integer only if x is a multiple of 2 (even). If the x-term is an integer, y will be an integer.

The given point has x even (-4), so we expect y to be an integer. The given point has y=1/2, not an integer, so the point will NOT be on the graph.

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.

the answer is c)8
