Neil is going to a bookstore 45 miles away. The bridge was closed on the way back, so he had to take an alternate route and had to drive 15 mph slower, which make the trip
back take 7 minutes longer. How fast was he going on the way to the bookstore?

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.

a long term investor

step-by-step explanation:

because he is a long term investor

55 because 55 + 55 = 110 good luck babe
