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

Semmy [17]
$15 x .0725 = 1.0875 which we have to round to $1.09
Notice how I changed the  7.25% to a decimal .0725 by moving it back two places.

Q(-2, 3) and P (2, 1)<br> Find the length of the segment. Simplify each radical,if possible
Montano1993 [528]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  2√5

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is useful for this.

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

  d = √((2 -(-2))² +(1 -3)²) = √(4² +(-2)²) = √20

  d = 2√5

The length of segment PQ is 2√5.

What is the slope of the line containing the points (-2, 1) and (4, -3)?
Kay [80]

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is always the ratio "y coordinate charge / x coordinate change" when going from one point on the line to another.

so, when going from (-2, 1) to (4, -3)

x changes by +6 (from -2 to 4).

y changes by -4 (from 1 to -3).

therefore, the slope is

-4/+6 = -4/6 = -2/3
