this question has two parts. first, answer part a. then, answer part b.
part a
dog walking rhonda owns a dog walking business. the table shows the number of customers she has each month since she opened her business in january.

month	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10

part a
sketch the graph.
line segment clear undo
(graph with x - axis labeled month and y - axis labeled customers with grid lines, y - axis has marks at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Coordinates

For each month (x - axis) and customers (y - axis), the points are: (0,4), (1,7), (2,8), (3,9), (4,7), (5,6), (6,8), (7,9), (8,6), (9,5), (10,8).

Step2: Plot Points

On the given grid, mark each point. For example, at x = 0, y = 4; x = 1, y = 7; and so on.

Step3: Connect Points

Use line segments to connect the consecutive points in order of increasing month (x - value).

(Note: Since this is a sketching task, the key is to plot the points accurately and connect them. Here we describe the process. If it were a digital tool, we would click on each (x,y) pair and draw the segments.)

Answer:

To sketch the graph:

1. Plot the points \((0, 4)\), \((1, 7)\), \((2, 8)\), \((3, 9)\), \((4, 7)\), \((5, 6)\), \((6, 8)\), \((7, 9)\), \((8, 6)\), \((9, 5)\), \((10, 8)\) on the coordinate grid (with "Month" on the x - axis and "Customers" on the y - axis).
2. Connect the plotted points with line segments in the order of the months (from \(x = 0\) to \(x = 10\)).
