Answer: PART A.

y= remaining height of candle

x= rate the candle burns down in inches per hour

8= original height of candle

the function would be y=8- 0.5x because the candle starts at a height of 8 feet and loses half an inch per hour.

You can use this function to create ordered pairs by putting in number at x which indicates the time:

x=1

y=8- (.5×1)= 7.5

(1, 7.5)

you can then do this for other numbers and get:

(2, 7.0) (3, 6.5) (4, 6.0) (5, 5.5) (6, 5.0)

PART B.

This equation is a function because all of the x-values had different y-values as seen in the coordinates (1, 7.5) (2, 7.0) (3, 6.5) (4, 6.0) (5, 5.5) (6, 5.0)  

PART C.

If the rate was 0.4 inches an hour, it would still be a function because the rate is the only thing that changed making the new function y= 8- 0.4x.This equation would make coordinates of (0,8) (1, 7.6) (2, 7.2) (3, 6.8) and so on with each x value creating a different y value.

Step-by-step explanation: hope this helps

What is the rule for the reflection ?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

This idea of reflection correlating with a mirror image is similar in math.

This complete guide to reflecting over the x axis and reflecting over the y axis will provide a step-by-step tutorial on how to perform these translations.

 First, let’s start with a reflection geometry definition

Math Definition: Reflection Over the X Axis

A reflection of a point, a line, or a figure in the X axis involved reflecting the image over the x axis to create a mirror image. In this case, the x axis would be called the axis of reflection.

Math Definition: Reflection Over the Y Axis

A reflection of a point, a line, or a figure in the Y axis involved reflecting the image over the Y axis to create a mirror image. In this case, theY axis would be called the axis of reflection.

What is the rule for a reflection across the X axis?

The rule for reflecting over the X axis is to negate the value of the y-coordinate of each point, but leave the x-value the same.

Ms santos seashells into 4 row she puts 6 seashells in each row how many seachells are there altogether
kati45 [8]
4 rows and 6 seashells in each row. 
Row 1: 0 0 0 0 0 0
Row 2: 0 0 0 0 0 0
Row 3: 0 0 0 0 0 0
Row 4: 0 0 0 0 0 0

You add all of them together 6+6+6+6=24 
Or you could do 6x4 and your answer would be 24
So the answer to the question is 24 seashells.
