Answer:

1) h=-t+20  

2) 12 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

y=mx+b

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

In this case:

y=h (The height of the candle in inches)

x=t (The time in hours)

Then, we can rewrite it:

h=mt+b

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

(3,17) and (5,15)

Then, we can find the slope of the line with the formula m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}:

 m=\frac{15-17}{5-3}=-1

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

17=(-1)(3)+b\\\\b=17+3\\\\b=20

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

h=-t+20  

2) We must substitute t=8 into the linear equation  h=-t+20 in order to find the height of the candle after burning 8 hours:

 h=-(8)+20\\\\h=12

Find x if AB = 9, BC = 2x - 5,<br> and AC = x + 9
Oxana [17]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the fact that line segments AB and BC are parts of the whole line segment AC, we can write the following equation:

AB + BC = AC

Now, using the given values, we can substitute in for the equation and solve for x:

AB + BC = AC

9 + 2x - 5 = x + 9

2x + 4 = x + 9

x = 5

Thus, we have found that for these sets of equations for these line segments, our value for x should be 5.

Cheers.
