It rained all day on Mother's Day and the temperature dropped fourteen and seven tenth degrees. The next day the rain stopped and the temperature rose ten and nine tenths degrees. If the temperature at the beginning of Mother's Day was sixty five and eight tenths degrees, what was the temperature at the end of the day after Mother's Day?

The temperature was 1 8/10º at the end of the day after Mother's Day

Step-by-step explanation:

5 8/10º-14 7/10º=-9 1/10º at the end of Mother’s Day

-9 1/10º+10 9/10º=1 8/10º at the end of the next day after Mother’s Day

step-by-step explanation:

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.
