Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 12
x = 10/3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -3.6x + 12
From this equation, which is in slope intercept form (y = mx+b), we already know that b represents the y-intercept, so that means the y-intercept is 12.
To find the x-intercept, we need to make y equal 0 to find x. So:
0 = -3.6x + 12
-3.6x = -12
x = 3.33333 --> 3 1/3
x = 10/3
Answer:
17.8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
In the 17 hours between heights of 18.6 cm and 15.2 cm, the candle lost 3.4 cm in height. That is, the height decreased at the rate of ...
(-3.4 cm)/(17 h) = -0.2 cm/h
In the 4 hours between 12 hours and 16 hours of burning time, the candle will have changed its height by (4 h)(-0.2 cm/h) = -0.8 cm.
The height at 16 hours of burning is then 18.6 cm -0.8 cm = 17.8 cm.
