-15 is the smaller number because the further you go into the negatives like -30, -47, -52; youre getting further away from 0 and after 0 are positive numbers so -15 would be the smaller number

-5 is bigger because it is closer to zero on the number line. This is because negative numbers get smaller and smaller the farther they are from zero.

The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2bh=A. Which of the following is not a possible first step to rearrange this formula

yarga [219]

We want to put b alone on one side of the equation.

If we multiply by 1/2, we get 1/4bh = A/2. Not only did we not remove a variable from the left side, we made it even more complicated.

So the answer is A.

. Could someone please explain this to me in detail. I am very confused. Thank you so much!. . A candle is 17 inches tall after

andrew-mc [135]

The generic equation of the line is:

$H-H0 = m (T-T0)$

Where,

m: slope of the line

(T0, H0): ordered pair belonging to the line.

The slope of the line is:

$m =\frac{H2-H1}{T2-T1}$

Substituting values we have:

$m =\frac{15-17}{5-3}$

Rewriting:

$m =\frac{-2}{2}$

$m = -1$

Then, choosing an ordered pair we have:

$(T0, H0) :( 5, 15)$

Substituting values we have:

$H-15=-(T-5)$

Rewriting the equation:

$H-15=-T+5$

$H=-T+5+15$

$H=-T+20$

Then, for 8 hours we have:

$H=-8+20$

$H=12$

Answer:

a linear equation to model the relationship between height H of the candle, and T time is:

$H=-T+20$

the candle will be 12 inches after burning 8 hours
