Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning. after 12 hours of burning, a candle has a height of 19.8 centimeters. after 27 hours of burning, its height is 18.3 centimeters. what is the height of the candle after 22 hours?

The height of candle becomes 18.8 cm after 22 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

After 12 hours of burning, a candle has a height of 19.8 centimeters.

and

After 27 hours of burning, its height is 18.3 centimeters.

Let x coordinate represents the number of hours and y coordinate represents the height.

So, we have (12,19.8) and (27,18.3)

So, the equation of line becomes,

So, After 22 hours, height of the candle becomes,

Hence, the height of candle becomes 18.8 cm after 22 hours.
