Question

A candle burns down at the rate of 1.5 per hour.The original height of the candle was 15 inches

Answer 1

Answer: (0, 15), (1, 13.5), (2, 12), (3, 10.5), (4, 9), (5, 7.5), (6, 6)

h = hours

t=height,

when one hour passes you would take away 1.5 from 15 inches

Answer 2

(0, 15), (1, 13.5), (2, 12), (3, 10.5), (4, 9), (5, 7.5), (6, 6)

Explanation:

if x is the hours and y is the height, every hours you would subtract 1.5 from 15 so: no hours (0) still 15 inches, 1 hour- 15- 1.5= 13.5, 2 hours- 13.5- 1.5=12 and so on and so on
