Could someone explain this to me in detail. i am very confused. you so much! . a candle is 17 inches tall after burning for 3 hours. after 5 hours it is 15 inches tall. write a linear equation to model the relationship between height h of the candle, and t time. predict how tall the candle will be after burning 8 hours.

We can translate the given data into points (hrs,inches). Hence, we have points (3,17) and (5,15). The rate at which the candle shortens is (15-17)/(5-3) equal to 1 inch per hour. Substituting this slope to the equation (y2-y1)= m(x2-x1) we have y-17= -1*(x-3) or y = -x + 20 where y is the length of the candle and x is the hours.

Just tell koda to adjust the number of shapes himself.
