Question

question has multiple parts.. when answering, please answer labeling as a, b c, etca.) what is slope of the line?b.) what is the y intercept of the line?c.) write a linear function for the graph, where x represents the time in hours and y represents the height in inches.d.) another 8 inch candles burns at a rate of 3 inches/hour. how would the graph for that candle compare with the one shown here?

Answer 1

a) slope = -8/4 = -2

b) y intercept is t = 8

c) y = -2x + 8

d) This one burns at a rate of 2 inches/hour, so the slope is -2

y intercept would be the same = 8, but the slope would be -3, so its equation would be:

y = -3x + 8
