A linear function contains the following points. What are the slope and yintercept of this function? O A. O B. O C. O D. 25 The slope is 4. The yintercept is (5, O). The slope is —4. The yintercept is (O, 5). 1 The slope is Tthe yintercept is (O, 5). 1 The slope is . The yintercept is (O, 5).

D

Step-by-step explanation:

points (-4,4) and (0,5)

slope: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(5-4)/(0+4) = 1/4

y intercept given: (0,5)

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.
