Extra a candle is 17 in tall after burning for 3 hours. after 5
hours, it is 15 in, tall. write a linear equation to
model the relationship between heighth of the candle and time t. predict how tall the candle will be after burning 8 hours? show your steps and explain your work: ))
everything you so much in

1)  

2) 12 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

In this case:

(The height of the candle in inches)

(The time in hours)

Then, we can rewrite it:

Based on the information provided in the exercise, the line passes through these points:

and

Then, we can find the slope of the line with the formula :

Now we need to substitute the slope and one of the points into    and then solve for "b":

Substituting values, we get that the a linear equation that models the relationship between the heigth of the candle and the time, is:

2) We must substitute into the linear equation   in order to find the height of the candle after burning 8 hours:

i think its a and d

step-by-step explanation:

$4034.40

the perimeter of the field is the sum of the lengths of the four sides:

47 yd + 158 yd + 47 yd + 158 yd = 410 yd

the cost of 3 ft (1 yd) of fence is 3×$3.28 = $9.84.

so the cost of jake's wood perimeter fance is

(410 yd) × ($9.84 /yd) = $4034.40
