William just lit a new candle and then let it burn all the way down to nothing. The length of the candle remaining unburned, in inches, can be modeled by the equation L = − 0.75 t + 15 , L=−0.75t+15, where t t represents the number of hours since the candle was lit. What is the x x-intercept of the equation and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem?

1. Since the equation can be written in the form y=kx y = k x , y varies directly with x and k . The constant of variation, y , is 5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.
