during a recent snowstorm in harrisburg, isabelle noted that there were 4 inches of snow on the ground at 3: 00 p. m., and there were 6 inches of snow on the ground at 7: 00 p. m. if she were to graph these data points, what does the slope of the line connecting these two points represent in the context of this problem?

a) every hour it snowed 0.5 inch.

b) every hour it snowed 0.25 inch.

c) every hour it snowed 1 inch.

d) every hour it snowed 2 inches.

d

step-by-step explanation:

d

there are lots of ways.   pick's theorem tells us if the vertices are lattice points the area a is

a = b/2 + i - 1

where b is the number of boundary lattice points and i is the number of interior lattice points.

in the figure i count b=16, i=50 so

a = 8 + 50 - 1 = 57

let's try the shoelace formula.   the area is half the sum of the cross products of the sides.  

a(-2,6)   -2(2)-6(-5) = 26

b(-5,2)   -5(-3) - 2(-2) = 19

c(-2,-3) -2(-3) - (-3)(4) = 18

d(4,-3)   4(3) - (-3)(5) = 27

e(5,3)   5(3) - 3(1) = 12

f(1,3)     1(6) - 3(-2) = 12

a(-2,6)

each of the cross products is twice the area of the triangle with the associated side and one vertex the origin. so the area of abo=26/2=13.

area = (1/2) (26 + 19 +   18 + 27 + 12 + 12) = 57

that checks!

the second option

the reason i dont know is because i have not taken this class and for that reason i haven't learned this stuff

hope i could
