In terms of better deal, we know that we want less money per hour. to find this we compute danny's cost per hour and martin's cost per hour of lessons and compare the 2.
Danny: 35/3 = 11.67 dollars/hour
martin: 24/2 = 12 dollars/hour
this means Danny has the better deal since his cost per hour is lower.

note that we could have also computed how many hours of lesson per dollar and in that cause the bigger number would be considered the better deal.
Danny: 3/35 = 0.086
martin: .083
this means danny has the better deal (like before!) because you get more hours of swimming lessons with 1 dollar.

although i think to choose a swim coach we have to look at his abilities as well not just how much he charges XD...sorry i got carried away.

A candle is 9 inches long. Ronnie lights the candle and records the height of the candle, y inches, for x hours.

DochEvi [55]

In the future, please post the full problem with all included instructions. After doing a quick internet search, I found your problem listed somewhere else. It mentions two parts (a) and (b)

Part (a) asked for the equation of the line in y = mx+b form

That would be y = -2x+9

This is because each time y goes down by 2, x goes up by 1. We have slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2. This indicates that the height of the candle decreases by 2 inches per hour. The slope represents the rate of change.

The initial height of the candle is the y intercept b value. So we have m = -2 and b = 9 lead us from y = mx+b to y = -2x+9

----------------------------------------------------------------

Part (b) then asks you to graph the equation. Because this is a linear equation, it produces a straight line. We only need 2 points at minimum to graph any line. Let's plot (0,9) and (1,7) on the same xy grid. These two points are the first two rows of the table. Plot those two points and draw a straight line through them. The graph is below
