Question

State the independent variable and dependent variable and find the slope.

snow is 0.02 m deep after 1 h and 0.06 m deep after 3 h.

Answer 1

Time is your independent variable, and snowfall is your dependent variable.

Slope can be found by calculating ∆y/∆x:

`x = (0.06 - 0.02)/(3 - 1) \\ x = (0.04)/(2) \\ x = 0.02`

Snowfall will accumulate 0.02 m every hour.
