Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

they say by noon 4 inches of rain has fallen,    then the say that it's falling at  1/4 inch per hour

f(x) = 1/4x +4

where x is in hours, and  f(x)  represents the linear graph of the amount of rain that has fallen after noon   :)

so by 2:30   or  2.5 hours....  then

f(2.5) = 1/4x +4

y = 1/4 (2.5) +4  ( i moved to the y  b/c now there is an answer)

y =[tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] + 4

y =4[tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]   inches of rain

Answer:

a) y = 1/4x + 4

b) 4.625 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

a) y(0) = 4 inches

slope = 1/4 rate

y = 1/4x + 4

b) 12:00pm (noon) to 2:30pm = 2 hours 30 mins = 2.5 hours

y = 1/4x + 4

y = (1/4)(2.5) + 4

y = 0.625 + 4

y = 4.625 inches
