A candle burned at a steady rate. After 33 minutes, the candle was 11.2 inches tall. Eighteen minutes later, it was 10.75 inches tall. Use an equation in point-slope form to determine the height of the candle after 2 hours. Round the answer to the tenth place if necessary

9.025 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be represented by:

Where is the length of candle at time

is the rate at which the candle is burning.

And is the initial length of the candle.

As per the question statement, let us put the given values in the equation.

Subtracting (1) from (2):

Putting the value of in the equation (1):

Therefore, the equation becomes:

Now, we have to find the height of candle after 2 hours.

2 hours mean 120 minutes.

Therefore, the height of candle is 9.025 inches.

360/29
