Answer 1

Answer:

The initial weight of the candle is 8 oz.

D.the candle's initial weight

Step-by-step explanation:

• the weight is 8 oz when time is 0, initial = 0 s

• the initial value represents the candles initial weight before burning it.

To find rate of change:

$\sf \frac{change \ in \ weight}{ time \ taken}$

take two points: (0,8),(5,7)

rate:

$\rightarrow \sf \frac{y1-y}{x1-x}$

$\hookrightarrow\sf \sf \frac{7-8}{5-0}$

$\hookrightarrow\sf-\frac{1}{5}$

$\hookrightarrow\sf -0.2$ is the rate of change.
