Draw a line representing the "rise" and a line representing the "run" of the line. State the slope of the line in simplest form.

Slope (represented by m) = .

Step-by-step explanation:

One should first find two coordinates in order to determine the slope.  I see (7,0) and (4,-1) so I will be using those two.  To find the slope, one subtracts the y-value of one coordinate from the y-value of the other, then divides that by the x-value of the same coordinate from the x-value of the other coordinate.  This formula for this is as follows below:

Now, plug this in: , which becomes , which becomes .

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8

1       7.6

2       7.2

3       6.8
