Answer:
4400 Yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 1760 to get how many yards are in half of a mile
Take the number of yards in one mile and double that and then add the number in half of a mile
L(t)=9-0.5t
t=time in hours,
L(t)=length of candle at time t
(A) substitute t=1,2,3,4,5,6 respectively to get
(1,8.5)
(2,8)
(3,7.5)
(4,7)
(5,6.5)
(6,6)
(B) it is a function because none of the x-values duplicate, (nor the y-values).
(C) If the rate changes to 0.45 "/hr, the relation is still linear.
All linear function with finite slope are functions.

The left sides of the equations are the same and the right sides of the equations are different, therefore the system of equations is inconsistent.
Answer: B. inconsistent.
