Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

From the graph,

This means, that points (1,2), (5,10) lie on the graph. This graph passes through the origin, so its equation is

y=kx,

where k is the slope

Find k:

$2=k\cdot 1\\ \\k=2,$

so the equation is
y=2x and the slope is k = 2.

The slope means how many inches of snow fell in 1 hour.

In 1 hour, 2 inches of snow fell.
