<span>You can get those ordered pairs subtracting 9-0.5, then that result minus 0.5 because from the rate the candle reduces its height 0.5inches per each hour.Part B: Is this relation a function? Yes, because each value of x has a single result or output in “y” (image)Part C: Yes, only difference is the time, the candle reduces its height 0.45 inches per each hour, examples of ordered pairs: (0,9) (1,8.55) (2,8.1)</span>
Again, "It is a Function" as y-coordinate is not repeating for different y-'s. We've just decreased the y's, it doesn't affect x-coordinate, so the nature of our function won't change
This equation is in slope-intercept form, this is referring to the y-intercept. Slope-intercept is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Therefore, 10/9 is the intercept while -8 is the slope.
