Which equation can be used to represent the statement? Sixteen is the same as one and two-tenths times a number added to negative 8. 16 + 1.2 n = negative 8 16 + 1.2 n = 8 16 = 1.2 n + (negative 8) 16 = negative 1.2 n + 8

10% of increase is the final answer! : )

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.

113.42

i hope that is right.
