For the past ten years, michelle has been tracking the average annual rainfall in boynton beach, florida by recording her data in the given table. she has concluded that the relationship can be modeled by a linear function. year 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 average rainfall(in inches) 62.33 61.8 61.27 60.74 60.21 59.68 59.15 58.62 58.09 57.56 use the values provided in the table to create a linear graph of the data. on the graph, let x = 0 represent the year 2004. be sure to include all proper labels on the graph.

the graph is attached.

step-by-step explanation:

using x = 0 as 2004, the y-intercept will be at (0, 62.33).  

the rainfall amounts are decreasing each year.   the amount of rainfall is decreasing at a constant amount each year:

61.8-62.33 = -0.53;

61.27-61.8 = -0.53;

60.74-61.27 = -0.53; etc.

this means the data is, in fact, linear, and the slope (rate of change) is -0.53.

15

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to solve it and find the product:

-13 × (-5)

solving the given expression in the standard order of solving a mathematical expression, beginning with the opening of brackets and then multiplying the terms and changing their signs.

-3 × -5 = 15 (answer is positive because when negative is multiplied with negative, it gives a positive answer)
