Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one. If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.
Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2). The slope is thus
7.2-17.4 -6
m = --------------- = ----------- or -3/5.
23-6 10
Find the equation of the line. I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:
y = mx + b => 7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b. Solving for b, b = 21.
Now we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21
Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.
y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches (answer)

The points you are looking for are the midpoints of segments JL and JK.
J(-2, -1), K(4, -5), L(0, -5)
The midpoint of segment JL is
(-2 + 0)/2, (-1 + (-5))/2) = (-2/2, -6/2) = (-1, -3)
The midpoint of segment JK is
(-2 + 4)/2, (-1 + (-5))/2) = (2/2, -6/2) = (1, -3)
Answer: The coordinates are (-1, -3), (1, -3)
