A7-inch candle burned at the rate od 0.5 inch per hour. write a two variable linear equation that represents the height of the candle, h after x hours

h = 7 – 0.5x  

Step-by-step explanation:

h = mx + b

The height of the candle decreases by 0.5 in/h, so

m = -0.5

y  = -0.5x +b

When x = 0, h = 7.

7 = -0.5×0 + b

7 = 0 + b

b = 7

h = -0.5x + 7 or h = 7 – 0.5x

b mark me branliest thx

step-by-step explanation:

the answer to this in exact form is 4/35 but in decimal form its 0.1142857

hope this if needed hmu
