The two quantities whose functional relationship is described in the given graph are the average rainfall in inches and the month of the year.
So the correct response is:
The two quantities are the average rainfall in inches and the month of the year.
Analyzing the intervals during the months from June to December based on the points provided:
From June to October, the average rainfall increases from 0.2 inches in June to 1.6 inches in October. Then, it continues to increase from October to December, reaching 3.2 inches in December.
Thus, the overall trend from June to December is an increase in average rainfall.
Therefore, the correct response is:
the average rainfall increases.
Based on the points provided for average rainfall:
The month with the lowest amount of average rainfall is June, with an amount of approximately 0.2 inches.
Therefore, the correct response is:
June has the lowest amount of rainfall at about 0.2 inch.
