In the future, please post the full problem with all included instructions. After doing a quick internet search, I found your problem listed somewhere else. It mentions two parts (a) and (b)
Part (a) asked for the equation of the line in y = mx+b form
That would be y = -2x+9
This is because each time y goes down by 2, x goes up by 1. We have slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2. This indicates that the height of the candle decreases by 2 inches per hour. The slope represents the rate of change.
The initial height of the candle is the y intercept b value. So we have m = -2 and b = 9 lead us from y = mx+b to y = -2x+9
----------------------------------------------------------------
Part (b) then asks you to graph the equation. Because this is a linear equation, it produces a straight line. We only need 2 points at minimum to graph any line. Let's plot (0,9) and (1,7) on the same xy grid. These two points are the first two rows of the table. Plot those two points and draw a straight line through them. The graph is below
First add 3 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 3 is being subtracted, addition (the opposite of subtraction) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.
2 < u - 3
2 + 3 < u - 3 + 3
5 < u - 0
5 < u
For the graph will you have a empty or colored in circle?
If the symbol is ≥ or ≤ then the circle will be colored in. This represents that the number the circle is on is included.
If the symbol is > or < then the circle will be empty. This represents that the number the circle is on is NOT included.
Which direction will the ray go?
If the variable is LESS then the number then the arrow will go to the left of the circle.
If the variable is MORE then the number then the arrow will go to the right of the circle.
In this case your inequality is:
5 < u OR u > 5
aka 5 is less then u OR u is greater then 5
This means that the graph will have an empty circle and the arrow will go to the right of 5. Look at image below.
Hope this helped!
