Answer:

slop: 5/2 (rise 5 run 2)

this means that 5mm of rainfall falls every 2 hours

(I hope this help, your question is a little confusing because it doesn't give the drop down menus.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The slope of the line is given by:

[tex](y_2 - y_1) / (x_2-x_1)[/tex]

We will treat [tex](2, 5)[/tex] as point 1, and [tex](4, 10)[/tex] as point 2.

So we have:

[tex]Slope=(10-5)/(4-2)=5/2=2.5[/tex]

What this means is that for every hour, we have [tex]2.5mm[/tex] of rain. Or in [tex]2[/tex] hours, we will have [tex]5mm[/tex] of rain. And in three hours we will have [tex]7.5mm[/tex] of rain and so on.
