Answer:
(11.4 - 22.8) / (26 - 7)
-11.4 / 19 this is the rate at which it burns - the slope
h = (-11.4/19)t + b
22.8 = (-11.4/19)7 + b
22.8 = (-79.8/19) + b
22.8 = -4.2 + b
27 = b
h = (-11.4/19)t + 27
Substitute 15 for t to determine the height of the candle.
1/12 or decimal form 0.083 with repeating line
The person sitting next to me was very sensitive.
4x + 3y = 12
3y = -4x + 12
y = -4/3x + 4........so the slope (or gradient) is -4/3...because in y = mx + b form, the slope(gradient) is in the m position and the y int is in the b position....so if u wanted to know the y axis, it would be (0,4)
the x intercept (where the line crosses the x axis) can be found by subbing in 0 for y in the original equation or the slope intercept equation, and solving for x.
4x + 3(0) = 12
4x = 12
x = 12/4 = 3....so the x intercept is (3,0)
