From the graph of the linear functions, we have that both snowman's will have the same height of 21 inches after 5 hours.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
For this problem, we have that:
- The initial height is the intercept.
- The melting rate, as a negative, is the slope.
Hence the functions are given as follows:
- A(t) = 51 - 6t.
- B(t) = 36 - 3t.
The functions are graphed at the end of the answer, with <u>A(t) in red and B(t) in blue,</u> and they intersect at (5,21), meaning that both snowman's will have the same height of 21 inches after 5 hours.
