Answer:
h = -t+20
After 8 hours the candle will be 12 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 2 points (time, inches)
(3,17) and (5,15)
We can find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (15-17)/(5-3)
= -2/2
= -1
We can use point slope form
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
Replace y with h and x with t
h-17 = -1 (t-3)
Distribute
h-17 = -t+3
Add 17 to each side
h-17+17 = -t+3+17
h = -t+20

Answer: -19, -15, -9, -1, 9 (choice A)</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
If we plug in x = -2, then we get,
y = x^2 + 7x - 9
y = (-2)^2 + 7(-2) - 9
y = 4 - 14 - 9
y = -10 - 9
y = -19
So x = -2 leads to y = -19. The answer is between A and D.
---------
If you repeat those steps for x = -1, then you should get y = -15
Then x = 0 leads to y = -9
x = 1 leads to y = -1
Finally, x = 2 leads to y = 9
The outputs we get are: -19, -15, -9, -1, 9 which is choice A
Choice D is fairly close, but we won't have a second copy of -15, and we don't have an output of -19.
I really believe the correct answer is 2.64 miles but if I am wrong I truly apologize
I believe the answer is d
