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

Which of the following rational numbers is equal to 2 point 8 with bar over 8 ? twenty two over nine, twenty four over nine, twe
alina1380 [7]
Just to remove ambiguities, the bar over the expression means it's repeating itself to infinity.

\bf 2.888\overline{8}\impliedby \textit{now say, let's make }x=2.888\overline{8}
\\\\\\
\textit{and multiply it by 10, to move over the 8 to the left}
\\\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
10x&=&10\cdot 2.888\overline{8}\\
&&28.88\overline{8}\\
&&26+2.888\overline{8}\\
&&26+x
\end{array}\implies 10x=26+x
\\\\\\
9x=26\implies x=\cfrac{26}{9}

notice, the idea being, you multiply it by 10 at some power, so that you move the "recurring decimal" to the other side of the point, and then split it with a digit and "x".

now, you can plug that in your calculator, to check what you get.
