This is my work and only part 1
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
Multiply the first equation by 2 to then use elimination by adding the 2 equations.
So, 14x-2y=14
+. x+2y=6
Equals 15x=20 so x=20/15=4/3
Plug in to first equation to get y
7(4/3)-y=7
28/3-y=7
28/3-y=21/3
So y=7/3
Plug both x and y into second equation to check
4/3+2(7/3)=
4/3+14/3=18/3=6 it works
So x=4/3, y=7/3
Hope this helps! Have a blessed day!
