The height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning. When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of - 0.6. See the figure below. Suppose that the height of the candle after 12 hours is 17.8 centimeters. What will be the height of the candle after 19 hours?

    13.6 cm

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The slope of - 0.6 tells you the change in height in 7 hours will be ...

    (-0.6 cm/h) · (7 h) = - 4.2 cm

    This is added to the candle height after 12 hours, so the height after 19 hours is ...

    17.8 cm - 4.2 cm = 13.6 cm
