Using Visual inspection, the model which fits the data in the distribution better is the power function.
The power and linear functions can of the data can both be modeled using technology,
<u>Using Technology</u> :
The power function in the form which models the data is
The linear function in the form which models the data is
- Where A = intercept and B = slope
- From the model, correlation coefficient given by the power and linear models are 0.999 and 0.986 respectively.
- Hence, the power model is a better fit for the data than the linear model.
Therefore, Inspecting the models visually, the power function fits the data better as the points on the curve are closer to the regression line than on the linear model.

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
