Elio is right in assuming the relationship between the height and the hours it burns is proportional.
Find the unit rate
14 ÷ 8 = 1.75 cm/h
Divide
21 ÷ 1.75 = 12
You can set this up as an algebraic equation to check the answer.
If the candle is 21 cm tall, it will burn for 12 hours.
Hope this helped you! :)

Answer:
Therefore, equation of the line that passes through (16,-7) and is perpendicular to the line
is
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
To Find:
Equation of line passing through ( 16, -7) and is perpendicular to the line
Solution:
...........Given

Comparing with,
Where m =slope
We get
We know that for Perpendicular lines have product slopes = -1.

Substituting m1 we get m2 as

Therefore the slope of the required line passing through (16 , -7) will have the slope,
Now the equation of line in slope point form given by
Substituting the point (16 , -7) and slope m2 we will get the required equation of the line,
Therefore, equation of the line that passes through (16,-7) and is perpendicular to the line
is
